Print and Repeat: Improving the reliability and economics of powder reuse in aluminum AM
New research shows how aluminum powder properties affect degradation rates over 15 LPBF cycles. During reuse, spherical powders with minimal fines maintain much better mechanical properties than irregular powders.
Whitepaper: The Problem With Additive Metal Manufacturing
The promise of additive manufacturing (AM) as a disruptive technology has been discussed in engineering circles for decades and promoted in the mainstream media for years. The benefits of AM – design freedom, weight savings, assembly simplification, economic batch size reduction – have all been achieved to some degree by those adopting the technology.
Impact of Powder Size, Size Distribution and Morphology on Additive Manufacturing
What’s the secret to consistent parts? Dr. Conlon explains how various powder characteristics affect key mechanical properties in the final product—dimensional accuracy, hardness, surface roughness, tensile strength, yield strength, and density.
