How Professor Akihiko Yanagitani is using the Morphologi 4 to move AM forward

We caught up with Professor Akihiko Yanagitani from the Hyogo Metal Consortium to find out how he’s using the Morphologi 4 and the FT4 to investigate the use of water-atomized powders for 3D printing. This has the potential to cut 3D printing costs and make additive manufacturing more widespread.

Boosting quality and cost-efficiency with real-time metal powder monitoring
​​​​​​
The quality of your metal powder can make or break your Powder Metallurgy and Additive Manufacturing processes, and particle size and shape are big factors. It helps to manage these aspects during the powder manufacturing or part manufacturing processes to improve quality and cost-efficiency. Real-time monitoring can help you here.

Material characterization for every stage of metal manufacturing

What are the key powder characteristics you should be looking for when optimizing your manufacturing process? How do techniques like X-ray fluorescence and laser diffraction work? Why is real-time particle sizing so important for process control in AM?

Understanding the ageing effects of polymer powders used in 3D Printing

During 3D Printing processes such as Selective Laser Sintering (SLS), powders can remain at elevated temperatures for long periods of time, sometimes many hours. The ageing this may cause can affect the processing behavior of reused powders and the performance of parts built with those powders. We’re discussing research into this effect with NETZSCH and the University of Sheffield in a webinar on November.

Why laser diffraction and particle imaging are essential to metal PBF

To manufacture a flawless part with metal powder bed fusion, you need to ensure that every powder layer is consistent from build to build. Analyzing and controlling the particle size and shape of your powder feedstock is the best way to do this. Find out how in our upcoming webinar on November 19.
