  text: The layered structure of Additive Manufacturing processes results in a stair-
    stepping effect of the surface topographies. In general, the impact of this effect
    strongly depends on the build angle of a surface, whereas the overall surface
    roughness is additionally caused by the resolution of the specific AM process.
    The aim of this work is the prediction of the surface quality in dependence of
    the building orientation of a part. These results can finally be used to optimize
    the orientation to get a desired surface quality. As not all parts of the component
    surface are equally important, a preselection of areas can be used to improve
    the overall surface quality of relevant areas. The model uses the digital AMF
    format of a part. Each triangle is assigned with a roughness value and by testing
    different orientations the best one can be found. This approach needs a database
    for the surface qualities. This must be done separately for each Additive Manufacturing
    process and is shown exemplarily with a surface topography simulation for the
    laser sintering process.
