Quantitative analysis of thin metal powder layers via transmission X-ray imaging and discrete element simulation: Blade-based spreading approaches
Ryan W. Penny, Daniel Oropeza, Patrick M. Praegla +4
Spreading uniform and dense layers is of paramount importance to creating high-quality components using powder bed additive manufacturing (AM). Blade-like tools are often employed…
Quantitative analysis of thin metal powder layers via transmission X-ray imaging and discrete element simulation: Roller-based spreading approaches
Ryan W. Penny, Daniel Oropeza, Reimar Weissbach +4
A variety of tools can be used for spreading metal, ceramic, and polymer feedstocks in powder bed additive manufacturing methods. Rollers are often employed when spreading powders…
Physics-Based Modeling and Predictive Simulation of Powder Bed Fusion Additive Manufacturing Across Length Scales
Christoph Meier, Sebastian L. Fuchs, Nils Much +10
Powder bed fusion additive manufacturing (PBFAM) of metals has the potential to enable new paradigms of product design, manufacturing and supply chains while accelerating the reali…
Modeling and Characterization of Cohesion in Fine Metal Powders with a Focus on Additive Manufacturing Process Simulations
Christoph Meier, Reimar Weissbach, Johannes Weinberg +2
The cohesive interactions between fine metal powder particles crucially influence their flow behavior, which is in turn important to many powder-based manufacturing processes inclu…
