Selective laser melting process is an additive manufacturing technique that allows obtaining, from a 3D model, a physical model through a layer-by-layer manufacturing strategy. Several machines are commercially available, known as 3D printers. Recently, technology improvements have allowed the use of metallic materials; however, the amount of materials available is low due to the difficulty to find adequate manufacturing parameters. The thesis proposes a methodology, using an inclined plane, to set the minimum energy density to melt a continuous track, the first step of the melting process. Different process parameters from several commercials machines have been used to evaluate dimensional and mechanical properties. Replicas of traditional products have been fabricated using additive process and they have been compared. Finally, a protocol to use a selective laser melting process to reconstruct a personalized jaw prosthesis has been shown
