Granutools will join the second edition of Metal AMS
We are thrilled to attend the 2nd edition of Metal AMS International Symposium on Metal Additive Manufacturing. This symposium will take place in Senlis, France from the 20th to 21st of March 2024.
Metal AMS: Advancing Metal Additive Manufacturing with a Focus on Sustainability and Powder Innovations
Metal AMS stands as the premier French Scientific Symposium exclusively dedicated to Metal Additive Manufacturing (AM) technologies. Organized by the French Metal AM community in collaboration with global R&D leaders, the event covers the entire AM value chain, addressing topics like Design, Materials, Processes, Simulation, and Monitoring challenges.
The 2024 edition shifts focus to Environmental sustainability and Sustainable Development, with a particular emphasis on powder innovations.
Organised by experts from, amongst others, Aerospace Valley, Addim Alliance, GIS HEAD, CNRS, Initiative 3D, University of Pavia, CENIM-CSIC, CIMES and Cetim, Metal AMS serves as a pivotal platform for advancing knowledge and innovations in Metal AM.
Presentation: Predicting Powder spreadability For Metal Additive Manufacturing
Aurélien Neveu, Ph.D., Head of Laboratory and Applications at Granutools, will present a study on predicting powder spreadability for metal additive manufacturing (AM). The research, building on prior findings, focuses on the correlation between powder spreadability and rheological properties. It includes an extensive experimental study evaluating spreadability in an SLM printer (SLM280, SLM Solutions) for various materials commonly used in SLM. The study shows that the Cohesive Index metric, based on powder/air interface fluctuations, is a reliable indicator for predicting spreadability. This provides a cost-effective method to estimate powder spreadability, aiding in the selection of optimal powders and recoating configurations for enhanced layer quality in metal AM processes.
