Solid Freeform Fabrication Symposium 2023  - August 14 - 16, 2023

Granutools will be at Annual International Solid Freeform Fabrication Symposium

The conference will cover a range of topics related to additive manufacturing and its applications in various fields, including biomedical, lattices, residual stress, topology optimization, and materials such as ceramics, composites, metals, polymers, and others. It also includes discussions on modeling techniques (CAD, scan patterns, etc.), physical modeling (thermal, materials, microstructure), process development, and special sessions on data analytics and specific additive manufacturing techniques like binder jet and wire-fed DED.

Presentation: Effect of temperature on the cohesiveness of polymeric powders: implications on spreadability

Aurélien Neveu, Head of Laboratory and Applications at Granutools, will be giving a presentation titled "Effect of temperature on the cohesiveness of polymeric powders: implications on spreadability”.

Join us for an enlightening presentation on the fascinating world of Selective Laser Sintering (SLS), a cutting-edge additive manufacturing process. In this session, we will delve into the critical factor of powder spreadability and its direct influence on the quality of SLS-printed layers. Our expert presenter will shed light on the dynamic cohesive index, a key parameter in quantifying powder cohesiveness. You will learn how the GranuDrum, with its rotating drum technology, plays a pivotal role in predicting powder performance within real SLS printers.

Moreover, we will explore the vital role of temperature in SLS. An investigation of its effect is essential to accurately predict material spreadability within the machine. Discover how temperature influences polymeric powders' cohesion, and why characterizing them at printer-relevant temperatures is crucial.
