Discrete element method (DEM) has become the method of choice for modeling the mechanical response of materials with granular structure. The method consists of representi[...]

Metal additive manufacturing techniques such as SLM, and DMLS, based on the powder bed fusion (PBF) process, rely on a high-quality powder bed to minimize the formation o[...]

Powder spreading plays a critical role in the quality of parts produced with selective laser sintering (SLS). Some of the important parameters that influence the quality [...]
