Thermal Control During Additive Manufacturing
THE CHALLENGE Additive manufacturing (AM) has emerged as a powerful tool within engineering. Many AM and coating processes rely on thermal input to soften or melt the materials involved in processing. However, this melting or softening typically results in a higher thermal gradient between deposited material and the workpiece, commonly resulting in...
