Physical cause-effect relationships leading to the balling defect in PBF/LB-M presented at SLT 2022

During the last Stuttgart Laser technology Forum (SLT 2022), that took place from 21 to 22 June 2022, there was a very interesting presentation by Prof. Andreas Otto from Technische Universität Wien who explained the #technology # #physical cause-effect relationships leading to the balling defect in PBF/LB-M at SLT 2022. It was developed with the support and collaboration with the different partners of the CUSTODIAN Laser project: AIDIMME. Instituto Tecnológico, Cailabs, GFM, AIMEN Centro Tecnológico, Politecnico di Milano, New Infrared Technologies, Precitec – Laser Material Processing, Marelli and secpho.

Results from a coupled FVM-DEM simulation (left) are shown to better illustrate the causes for the defect found in the experimental results provided by AIDIMME (right). #shapeyourlaser #custodian #innovation
