The interest for a wider range of useable materials for the technology of selective laser melting is growing. In this work we describe a new way to optimize the process parameters for selective laser melting of a beta solidifying titanium aluminide. This kind of material has so far not been processed successfully by this method. The new approach is easy to conduct and well transferable to other materials. It is based on the fact that the parts generated from selective laser melting can be described by an addition of multiple single tracks. Multiple types of single track experiments are performed and in combination with knowledge from laser welding tests optimized parameter combinations are derived. Compact samples are built with the optimized process parameters and characterized in terms of microstructure, phase composition and mechanical properties. With this technique the generation of a TNMB1 titanium aluminide alloy sample with a density greater than 99% could be achieved. The mechanical properties are comparable with material produced by conventional techniques.
