Introduction to Additive Manufacturing Powder Rheology

The performance of an additive manufacturing process begins with how the powder behaves. Powder rheology provides critical insight into the flow, packing, cohesion, and handling characteristics that influence powder spreading, layer uniformity, and ultimately the quality and consistency of printed components.

This webinar will explore the fundamentals of powder rheology as applied to additive manufacturing. A key emphasis will be placed on understanding how powder characteristics and environmental conditions impact processing behavior for additive manufacturing. A series of case studies will be covered as well as discussion on the range of measuring techniques, from a powder standpoint, relevant to addressing issues seen in additive manufacturing.

Key learning objectives: 

  • Overview of various powder characteristic techniques as it related to additive manufacturing
  • How incorporating powder characteristic can provide insight into resolving issues faced in additive manufacturing
  • The importance of powder characterization for additive manufacturing
