Two-day workshop on Design of metallic powders for additive manufacturing – from scrap to resource
The introduction of additive manufacturing (AM) for fast net-shape production of metallic components has revolutionized and revitalized metals research during recent years. However, far too little focus has been devoted to the powders, which are the raw materials in the AM process. Two critical issues are that i) the powders used in AM are designed for conventional manufacturing and not targeted for the fast heating and cooling rates that are inherent to AM, and ii) the powders are produced from virgin material drawing unnecessarily on our limited natural resources. Standard methods for powder characterization are being used to evaluate AM powder, however, the existing international standards were established for general powder processes; therefore, addressing new strategies to characterize powder and link its properties to the printed components should be addressed.
The workshop will cover a wide variety of topics related to metallic powder for AM, including:
- Design of alloys for AM
- Powder production and characterization
- Relationship between powder quality and AM sample properties
- Life cycle and environmental system analysis of scrap upcycling
- Circular economy business scenarios for production and use of powder for AM
- Industrial interests and issues in metal AM
You will have the opportunity to hear from leading scientists and industry professionals, and engage in inspiring discussions on powder characterization, production techniques, and their applications in additive manufacturing. Additionally the workshop will include a tour to the recently established metal powder lab at DTU and the refurbished AM lab.
Join us, start the conversation on powder production for additive manufacturing, and stay informed about the latest developments in the field.
