Siemens is one of the top 3 patent filers in the field of additive manufacturing, both for processes and software. One of our major actual research areas concerns the effective consideration of the properties of printed materials (porosity, surface texture, residual stresses, etc.) in the simulation of part performance.
Additive Manufacturing on one hand opens the door to explore a larger design space but on the other hand also introduces new variabilities in the material properties, which need to be taken into account for an accurate assessment of the strength and fatigue properties of the 3D printed component. This workshop focuses on Additive Manufacturing induced local material properties and defects and how these can be accounted for efficiently in part scale performance simulation with Materials Engineering and Specialist Durability.

Highlighted by concrete examples, Hexagon will present its concept of a smart additive manufacturing solution. This solution and the platform that supports it will accelerate the digital transformation and industrialization of additive manufacturing by:

1. Connecting the different steps of the AM product development and manufacturing chain, from generative design to process simulation (including post-treatment and secondary OPs such as heat treatment and milling) to quality control,
2. Automating workflows reflecting your AM activity,
3. Providing organized data captured throughout the complete chain, ready for analytics, in order to better understand quality issues and make informed and impactful decisions.

The availabilty of high quality metal powders is decisive for the success of additive manufacturing technologies. Ideally, powders are spherical, agglomerate-, pore- and satellite-free. Besides this main challenge of achieving perfect particle morphology, powder producers struggle with a low product yield for the requested narrow particle size distributions as well as high production costs due to bad energy conversion during the atomization process. This presentation describes the evolution of the molten alloy from the melt tundish until its transformation into metal powder. After the formation of a liquid film at the nozzle tip, the melt undergoes primary breakup into ligaments which further break down into „sausage-shaped“ fragments. These either spheroidise or undergo secondary breakup, while – at the same – time they cool down and solidify. Additionally, depending on the atomization gas atmosphere, also surface oxides or nitrides may be formed. The presented theoretical calculations show, how the powder formation process can be influenced to produce more spherical powders. Practical results (e.g. for aluminium and steel powders) are shown to emphasize the importance of understanding and controlling the atomization process.

PEEK (derived from Polyetheretherketone) has been known in the Space Industry for its mechanical strength, its high strength-to-weight ratio, and its high-temperature resistance (among many other properties). Main players in the Space Industry have been mainly using PEEK to 3D print parts dedicated to jigs and fixtures. But what if there is more to PEEK?
The use of PEEK in spacecraft production is leading towards new possibilities.
