Description:
Additive manufacturing (AM) has emerged as a transformative technology with the potential to disrupt multiple industries. However, its widespread adoption is hindered by a lack of understanding of its intricacies. This mini symposium will serve as an avenue for the discussion of recent advancements in AM. Specific topics of the MS include (but are not limited to) –
- AM Methods: Innovations in powder bed fusion, selective laser sintering/melting, stereolithography, fused deposition modeling, and other novel methods that improve the current state-of-the-art.
- AM Materials: AM of metals, alloys, polymers, ceramics, composites, hydrogels, biomaterials, colloids, functionally graded materials, shape memory materials, granular media, etc. Synthesis of new materials using experimental/computational methods.
- AM Mechanics: Experimental characterization of inks/powder (rheological/mechanical testing, calorimetry, TGA) and quantifying part quality (Anisotropy, dimensional inaccuracies, stability, residual stress, etc.). Constitutive modeling, computational and data-driven methods/analysis of AM processes
Topics of interest:
- Additive Manufacturing
- Modeling
- Rheology
- Computational Methods
