Granutools Presentations

The Effect of Permeability on the Powder Bed Porosity in Binder Jetting Applications

Monday, June 16 | 2:15 PM
Aurélien Neveu, Head of Laboratory and Applications, Granutools

In Binder Jetting, controlling the porosity of the powder bed is critical for green part quality and binder penetration. This presentation explores how powder permeability, as measured using Granutools’ GranuPack, directly influences bulk density and porosity during recoating. A novel methodology combining permeability and packing analysis will be shared, offering new perspectives for predicting bed porosity and optimizing powder recoating.

AM Powder Standards: The Need to Adopt State-of-the-Art Characterization Methods

Monday, June 16 | 4:35 PM
Aurélien Neveu, Head of Laboratory and Applications, Granutools

Existing standards for AM powder characterization often lack relevance for real-world applications, offering fragmented or process-insensitive metrics. In this talk, Aurélien Neveu will review current limitations and introduce modern, high-resolution powder characterization techniques that offer improved repeatability, reliability, and relevance. Emphasis will be placed on the need to update AM standards to reflect these advances and better guide end-users.

The Link Between Powder Cohesiveness and Spreadability Evaluated Through Multi-Layer Analysis

Tuesday, June 17 | 11:50 AM
Aurélien Neveu, Head of Laboratory and Applications, Granutools

Evaluating powder spreadability before production is challenging due to cost and machine downtime. In this presentation, the relationship between cohesiveness (Cohesive Index, GranuDrum) and spreadability is explored through a novel multi-layer analysis approach. Using an instrumented test bench developed at LEM3, detailed topological assessments of successive powder layers reveal how spreadability evolves over time, highlighting the need for layer-by-layer evaluation rather than single-layer tests.
