In our previous episode, Dr. Natalie Rudolph informed about the isothermal measurements and their importance for process simulation. Today, we talk about measuring the specific heat capacity of Powder Bed Fusion Powder and what it is needed for.
Today’s focus is on the crystallization behavior in Polymer Powder Bed Fusion using Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC). Find out more about the time dependence of crystallization with the example of a semi-crystalline thermoplastic and learn about isothermal crystallization of Nylon PA12 powder.
The modification of Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) powders with fillers is a good way to modify the properties of the produced parts without the necessity for new powder materials. Learn how to assess the effect of copper fillers on the processing behavior.
