Once again the Wolfson Centre for Bulk Solids Handling Technology joins forces with some of the leading experts in the Additive Manufacturing industry to help guide delegates through the potential problems encountered when handling powders as part of the AM process.
Presentations from Fraunhofer IFAM Institute in Bremen and Carpenter Additive will be delivered alongside contributions from the University of Greenwich and Wolfson Centre.
New for this year, in addition to covering the standard topics of recycling and quality issues, contamination, oxidisation, powder handling and key safety considerations, Dr Hamid Salehi from the University of Greenwich will be presenting his findings on the Latest Techniques in Spreadability Testing and Layer Quality Control.
Delegates will learn about
- The new technique and instrument developed to quantify the behaviour of a powder when spreading for Additive Manufacturing;
- A new shadowgraphy technique incorporated, used to quantify powder bed surface roughness;
- How the instrument can determine powder bed relative packing fraction, the change in packing fraction, particle size and shape over the build plate, and to evaluate the electrostatic charges over the powder bed.
Who should attend?
The course is aimed at anyone working in powder based additive manufacturing, particularly with metal or plastic powders.
Please refer to the website for full course content and registration details.
We look forward to welcoming you onto the course,
