AB - Laser beam shaping is a novel and relatively unexplored method for controlling the melt pool conditions during metal additive manufacturing (MAM) processes, but even so it still holds good promise for achieving site-specific tailored properties. In this work, a comprehensive numerical and experimental campaign is carried out to explore this subject within metal laser powder bed fusion (LPBF). More specifically, a multiphysics numerical model is implemented for simulating the heat and fluid flow conditions during LPBF of Ti6Al4V using arbitrary circular beam shapes with various power distributions spanning from a pure Gaussian beam to a pure ring beam profile. The model is subsequently coupled with cellular automata to describe the beam shape effects on the microstructure evolution. Model validation is carried out in a two-fold manner. First, we compare the predicted melt pool cross-section with the one from ex-situ single track experiments, and we find a deviation of less than 9
