| Abstract Scope |
In ceramic additive manufacturing (AM), controlling the behavior of powders during deposition is critical to achieving uniformity and performance in final products. This presentation demonstrates how particle-level simulations using Prometech’s discrete element method (DEM)-based software can predict powder flow, dispersion, packing, and interaction under various process parameters. Case studies showcase its application in optimizing layer formation and minimizing defects during ceramic AM processes. This approach offers a valuable digital twin for improving ceramic AM process design, reducing trial-and-error efforts, and enabling faster adoption of new materials. |
