Overview
The secret recipe for precision in additive manufacturing:
In this webinar, gases specialist BOC, and additive manufacturing powder specialist, Carpenter Additive, will discuss the role that atmospherics can play in delivering precision and consistency in additive manufacturing, and the micro-processes within the AM value chain in which greater control can be introduced.
Kick start your process smoothly with high quality powder:
Beginning with a discussion around the common challenges facing additive manufacturers in achieving consistency in product output, Carpenter Additive will then talk about the importance of atmospherics to powder lifecycle management.
Achieve repeatable high quality results every time:
BOC will follow with a discussion on the additive manufacturing value chain and talk in detail about the impact of atmospheric variation on material handling, the manufacturing process and product finishing—while demonstrating the steps manufacturers can take at each stage to introduce greater precision and control.
Learning Objectives:
- Understand the critical role of atmospherics in achieving precise results.
- Learn how to optimise the value chain from powder production through to finishing
- Discover how to reduce the risk of defects and rejected goods
Speakers:
Julio Coroado
Application Engineer, Additive Manufacturing
In his role as Applications Engineer for Additive Manufacturing at BOC, Julio is responsible for developing atmospheric controls and gas solutions for additive manufacturers.
With a PhD in Advanced Manufacturing and Welding Technology from Cranfield University, Julio previously held the role of additive manufacturing engineer for the Welding Engineering and Laser Processing Centre at the university, where he was responsible for co-ordinating international research projects for industries including food and beverage, automotive and aerospace.
Dr. Neil Harrison
Materials Development Manager
As Materials Development Manager for Carpenter Additive, Dr Neil Harrison uses his knowledge of the behaviours of alloys and materials on LPBF systems to provide technical and consultation services. His expertise in metal additive manufacturing includes the development and design of alloys and powders optimised for laser powder bed fusion (LPBF), and spans both research and practical implementation.
In recent years Neil has lead research activities on the evolution of metal powder through the additive manufacturing process, developing Carpenter Additive’s understanding of the underlying mechanisms which drive powder evolution and their impact on material properties.
Neil’s PhD at the University of Sheffield was on solidification, microstructure and material response of nickel superalloys processed by Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF). He has published works on microstructure and solidification theory in LPBF, and reduction of microcracking in nickel superalloys.
