About ASTM International Conference on Advanced Manufacturing 2024
The ASTM International Conference on Advanced Manufacturing (ICAM 2024) will be held from October 28 to November 1, 2024, in Atlanta, GA. Organized by the ASTM International Additive Manufacturing Center of Excellence (AM CoE) and supported by numerous ASTM technical committees, this event is a key gathering for professionals in advanced manufacturing.
ICAM 2024 will cover critical topics in additive manufacturing, with a strong emphasis on standardization, qualification, and certification across various industry sectors. The conference aims to bridge the gap between research and application through rigorous discussions on industry standards, design principles, materials, data management, and innovations in advanced manufacturing.
Presentation - Spreadability Prediction for Metallic Powders: Latest Developments
28 October 2024 | 11:30 – 11:50 AM
Filip Francqui, Managing Director, will present " Spreadability Prediction for Metallic Powders: Latest Developments " focusing on the crucial role of powder spreadability in ensuring the quality of parts produced via powder-bed-based additive manufacturing (AM).
He will discuss the use of the Cohesive Index metric (GranuDrum) to predict spreadability at the formulation stage, thus avoiding the costs associated with large batch production. His presentation will also cover recent advancements that confirm the correlation between the Cohesive Index and layer homogeneity, and will provide insights into how powder properties, recoater geometry, and bed roughness impact spreadability in real production environments.
