These methods can help to elucidate particle size distribution, to robustly quantify the fine and coarse fractions that can be crucial to powder performance. We also use the Freeman FT4 Powder Rheometer (shown in the photo), an instrument that can sensitively differentiate the bulk flowability of AM powders in a way that correlates directly with printing performance.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:.0001pt\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:.0001pt\"><span style=\"line-height:normal\">The resulting data support the development of new powders for specific AM systems, the effective differentiation of supplies, powder choice for new applications, and the development of effective powder management and recycling strategies.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:.0001pt\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:.0001pt\"><span style=\"line-height:normal\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.particletesting.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">www.particletesting.com<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:.0001pt\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Particle Testing Authority (PTA), a division of Micromeritics Instrument Corp., Norcross, Georgia, announces that it has created a comprehensive particle characterization service for the additive manufacturing industry.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":63103,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[440,441,1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-11799","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","category-news-articles","category-uncategorized"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.9 -
