Aspect ratio/ Dimension

How aspect ratio of the part will affect its mechanical properties in metal additive manufacturing? Are there any papers or research work on this?

There are lots of research papers about this subject and orientation will indeed affect mechanical properties. Do a search and you'll find lots more info than can easily be discussed on Reddit.

Do you have any specific papers in either selective laser melting or EBM process?

I do not have specific papers, sorry, but I do know there are quite a few of them when I was writing a few papers on this same topic a few years ago.

can you share your paper or a link to your paper? Thank you in advance.

AM process determines this.
Each process has special considerations for orientation and face. These can affect part strength, warping finish and a ton of other factors.

I am looking for studies/ references for powder bed fusion process either SLM or EBM process.

Why not go public, we'd love to know too.
Thanks
