This paper reviews examples of advanced, yet easy to employ, constitutive plasticity models for powder bed fusion (PBF) and material extrusion (MEX) alloys, such as Ti-6A-4V, maraging steel 300 and steel 316L. It intends to showcase a phenomenological constitutive approach that can be scaled up for the benefit of the design/redesign process and the sustainment of metallic structures and parts.
