HI-AM 2023 | Holistic Innovation in Additive Manufacturing  - 27 - 28 June, 2023

Granutools will be at HI-AM 2023 - Holistic Innovation in Additive Manufacturing

HI-AM 2023, the 6th annual conference organized by the NSERC Network for Holistic Innovation in Additive Manufacturing, stands out as the exclusive academic gathering in Canada dedicated solely to metal additive manufacturing. This highly anticipated event brings together a diverse range of participants, including academic researchers, experts from research institutes, industry professionals, and government representatives.

Co-hosted by Dalhousie University and the University of Waterloo, HI-AM 2023 offers an unparalleled platform for sharing and showcasing the latest research and development advancements in metal additive manufacturing. The conference focuses on four key research themes: material development; advanced process modelling; process monitoring and control; and innovative AM processes/products.

With an impressive lineup of hundreds of experts and decision-makers in the field of additive manufacturing, HI-AM 2023 presents a prime opportunity for networking, collaboration, and knowledge exchange. It is an event that should not be missed by anyone seeking to stay at the forefront of metal additive manufacturing innovation in Canada and beyond.

Poster: How the Rheology of Powder Affects its Spreadability?

Granutools will present a poster titled "How the Rheology of Powder Affects its Spreadability?" at HI-AM 2023. The poster will be presented by Stéphane Caubergh, PhD, who will delve into the assessment of powder spreadability for Additive Manufacturing using a rotating drum measurement.

In Additive Manufacturing processes, achieving optimal layer quality relies on the powder's ability to spread effectively. Therefore, it is crucial to characterize the spreadability of the powder to enhance the overall Additive Manufacturing process. The cohesive index, evaluated through the GranuDrum instrument, provides valuable insights into the cohesion of powders, directly impacting their spreadability and ultimately influencing the quality of the powder layers.

This poster aims to offer a comprehensive understanding of the relationships between rheology, flowing properties of powders, and the optimization of Additive Manufacturing technologies. By attending this session, you will gain valuable insights into the crucial role of powder rheology in achieving process optimization and enhancing the quality of Additive Manufacturing outputs.
