Additive manufacturing (AM), or 3D printing, is one of the latest and most sensational developments in manufacturing since the industrial revolution. The technique is mainly based upon ‘layer-by-layer ...

A significant parameter to explore the compressibility and flowability of pharmaceutical powders, tapped density, is extremely useful for promoting the approach of QbD and GMPs. Therefore, ...

Fine powders and granular materials are extensively used in industrial applications. It is essential to precisely characterize these materials in order to control and optimize processing techniques.

Stir this silicon-based powder into water, and hydrogen will bubble out, ready for immediate use. Hong Kong company EPRO Advance Technology (EAT) says its Si+ powder offers an instant end to the ...

The manufacture of parts by compaction and sintering involves filling a die with metal powder. Research scientists have simulated this process for the first time to achieve an evenly distributed ...

Selective Laser Sintering of Polymers is a widely used Additive Manufacturing technology that involves a laser to selectively sinter layers of a powder bed, with Polyamide 12 being a common material ...

Powder spreading is a key step in the powder-bed-based additive manufacturing process, which determines the quality of the powder bed and, consequently, affects the quality of the manufactured part.

Fine powders and granular materials are used across a broad spectrum of industrial applications. To optimize and control processing methods, these materials have to be characterized with great ...
