Particle-based simulations of powder coating in additive manufacturing suggest increase in powder bed roughness with coating speed

We have developed the first particle-based numerical tool to simulate the coating of powder particles in additive manufacturing devices. Our Discrete Element Method considers realistic particle shapes and incorporates attractive interaction (van-der-Waals) forces between the particles. From simulati...
