Workshop: Sustainability and superior performance in additive manufacturing & powder metallurgy May 23, 2023; 9.00am - 4.30pm
Malvern Panalytical Lab
Techlink Lobby B, #04-05, 31 Kaki Bukit Road 3, Singapore 417818

Powder Metallurgy Workshop

When you are using recycled powders, do you face issues with cross-contamination or powder packing? As you up-scale your additive manufacturing process and look towards purchasing more powder, do you encounter issues with powder segregation and flowability? Following the additive manufacturing or 3D printed process, do you encounter stress and strain issues? Whether you are involved in metal powders, polymers or precision ceramic powders, our workshop is the one for you!

DKSH and Malvern Panalytical is proud to bring to you a free one-day workshop, supported by ASTM International and National Additive Manufacturing Innovation Cluster (NAMIC). Collectively, we have a joint interest in sustainability in powder recycling, as well as providing guidance towards better powder design and superior performing finished products.

During this workshop, look forward to case studies and breakout discussions. We've invited speakers from ASTM International, NAMIC, Continuum, NUS and Malvern Panalytical. Shifting from theory to practicum, we invite you to bring not only your challenges, but also your powders for analysis in our lab.

What will you learn?

  • Case studies and challenges in additive manufacturing and 3D printing Sustainability issues concerning powder recycling like cross-contamination, exposure, moisture
  • Issues concerning powder performance like powder segregation, powder flowability, powder packing, structural and phase changes
  • Norms and guidance from ASTM International and NAMIC
  • Characterization techniques that comply with ASTM and ISO standards, as well as new cutting-edge technology, including the Morphologi 4ID* for particle shape analysis     * instrument specially in Singapore as part of its global tour.

Who should attend?

  • Anyone involved in additive manufacturing, powder metallurgy or 3D printing
  • Anyone working with powder metallurgy, polymers, precision ceramics and other powders
  • Powder manufacturers, researchers and quality control
