Powder Bed Density

RWD_PWR_BMW_5

Hello,

After spreading a layer of powder, I would like to examine the powder bed. For example, I want to measure the powder bed density (PBD), the surface roughness, void volume in the powder bed layer, and particle segregation. What features or tools are available for directly measuring any of these results? I attached pictures for clarification. 

Thank you for your time and consideration!

Hi ,

For anything related to analysis of particles in a sub-domain I would recommend the use of bin groups and/or selection groups in the EDEM Analyst.

The EDEM e-learning lessons for the Analyst overview and specifically  17.5 for info on the sensors - https://learn.altair.com/course/view.php?id=147)
