Hot material extrusion (MEX) additive manufacturing with filament feedstock (also known as fused filament fabrication (FFF) or fused deposition modeling (FDM™)) is one of the most popular and fast-growing 3D-printing techniques for consumer and educational purposes. A continuous ... En savoir plus

Re-crystallisation of Ni-Mn-Ga Heusler alloys in a floating zone (FZ) optical furnace is a complex problem that depends not only on the compositions of the master alloy and a seed crystal but on the growth speed and evolution of the molten zone shape during the crystal growth process. We ... En savoir plus

Simulation of laser processes are more and more efficient. In some cases, as welding and additive manufacturing, the physical phenomena are complex, multi-physics and multi-phases, thus some assumptions have to be done. For Laser Powder Bed Fusion, a laser beam melts and vaporizes the ... En savoir plus
