Nanoparticle laser sintering is one of the vital technologies in additive manufacturing. Numerous processes such as freeform surfaces or seamless parts have been proposed for the fabrication of complex components, however, the resolution and quality of the processes do not meet the standard necessary for practical applications. Therefore, selective laser sintering is used to fabricate electrode patterns in high-precision manufacturing field. Despite the various advantages, laser sintering process generates defects on the pattern with one of the major contributing factors being the Marangoni flow. In this study, the laser sintering process was used to determine the relationship between the nanoparticle blending conditions and the microstructure of the fabricated electrode pattern through the control of the nanoparticles density and laser characteristics such as power, pulse duration, and scan speed. As a result, the conditions for Marangoni flow were analyzed in relation to the concentration of the nanoparticle solution and laser irradiation parameters. More severe Marangoni flow was produced with the solution having a low weight percent of nanoparticles, while the width of the pattern was uniform when the pulsed laser was applied using a high peak power to achieve the same total amount of energy.
