Material Science in Additive Manufacturing: Evaluation of Refreshing Strategy of PBF Powder using DSC
Today, Dr. Natalie Rudolph will talk about the refreshing strategy for Powder Bed Fusion powders using Differential Scanning Calorimetry. In this episode, not the part properties, but the properties of the powder will be investigated.
Material Science in Additive Manufacturing: Measuring Thermal Diffusivity using LFA
Today, Dr. Natalie Rudolph will explain how the thermal diffusivity of a powder bed fusion part can be measured using Laser Flash Analysis (LFA) and how it can be computed in thermal conductivity.
How Fillers Increase Isotropic or Anisotropic Behavior of SLS Parts through Their Alignment
In general, the addition of fillers leads to an increase in mechanical performance. While a critical length of the fillers is needed to have an effect on the strength of components, the stiffness is already increased with fillers with small aspect ratios. To understand how the stiffness or modulus change as a function of the filler geometry and filler content, Dynamic Mechanical Analysis (DMA) can be used. Learn more in our article!
Material Science in Additive Manufacturing: Warpage Prediction of PBF Parts Using CTE
Residual stress can lead to warpage of a 3D-printed part. Both Dynamic Mechanical and Thermomechanical Analysis are capable to estimate warpage. In this video, Dr. Natalie Rudolph explains, how the coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE), measured with Thermomechanical Analysis, can be used to predict and calculate warpage.

Investigating UV Exposure and Thermal Cure in Vat Photopolymerization
During the Vat Photopolymerization process, the component is built-up in layers in a liquid resin vat using a UV laser beam to selectively cure the resin. Learn how the degree of thermal cross-linking of a two-component resin is determined by the preceding cross-linking reaction during photo-polymerization.
