Optimised Powders for Sustainable Additive Manufacturing

用于添加剂制造的优化粉末(OPSAM)对添加剂制造工艺(如选择性激光熔化)的原材料进行了独特的、全面的考察。该项目将为快速扩张和变化的市场中的各种机器平台优化粉末性能，如流量。将确定不同机器类型的个别要求，并设计新的粉末规格以适应这些要求。除了粉末特性，还将考虑粉末的生产和加工，以最大限度地增加雾化粉末的数量，这对添加剂制造是有用的。这将带来更好的环境和财务影响。

Optimised powders for Additive Manufacturing (OPSAM) takes a unique, holistic look at the raw materials for Additive Manufacturing processes such as Selective Laser Melting. The project will optimise powder properties, such as flow rate, for a diverse range of machine platforms in a rapidly expending and changing market. Individual requirements for different machine types will be identified and new powder specifications designed to accommodate these. As well as powder behaviour, the powder production and processing will be considerd to maximise the amount atomised powder which is useful for Additive Manufacturing. This will lead to improved environmental and financial impact.
