New Test Method for Measurement of Particle Size and Shape of Additive Manufacturing Base Materials by Dynamic Imaging Analyzers
1. Scope
The method will cover the determination of particle size and shape distributions of metal and ceramic additive manufacturing base materials using dynamic imaging analyzers
Particle size and shape of base materials affect the flowability of the powder and the quality of manufactured parts. Imaging technology can assess both these parameters at the manufacturing stage in order to optimize both size and shape for the end user.
