Discrete Element Simulation of the Effect of Roller-Spreading Parameters on Powder-Bed Density in Additive Manufacturing

The powder-bed with uniform and high density that determined by the spreading process parameters is the key factor for fabricating high performance parts in Additive Manufacturing (AM) process. In this work, Discrete Element Method (DEM) was deployed in order to simulate Al<sub>2</sub>O&...
