Abstract

Part of the optimization steps for the additive manufacturing is related to the correct understanding of the mechanical behavior of the powder used in the process. Numerical simulations through the Discrete Element Method (DEM) provide a useful means to investigate additive manufacturing process thus assisting and complementing experimental investigations. In particular, with the help of DEM simulations, it is possible to study particle-scale processes that are difficult to access experimentally. We investigate the characteristics of the powder bed deposited onto the manufactured part using a roller as the coating system. Furthermore, the non-spherical shape of real particles is also taken explicitly into account in the numerical simulations. A combination of translational velocity and sinusoidal vibration is used in the roller. The effect of varying the translational velocity, vibration frequency and amplitude in the density and roughness of the formed bed is investigated.
