Additive Manufacturing
Optimize melt behavior, flow properties, and crystallization for stable processing and high-quality 3D printed parts.
Additive Manufacturing (AM) or 3D printing has matured over the last decades and has become a constant in our product design and development cycles and is debuting in more and more new products.
Polymers and their unique properties are key enablers for the majority of AM technologies – ranging from low viscosity, UV curable resins to polymer powders with distinct melting and crystallization behavior.
To develop and select suitable materials, optimize processing and processes and analyze the finished products, understanding the material-process interactions through thermal analysis and rheology methods are instrumental.
We at NETZSCH Analyzing & Testing can help you identify the most suitable device and method for your needs.
Discover our ebook: Thermal Analysis and Kriechen (Rheologie)Creep is one of the earliest “controlled stress” rheometer tests that quite literally “creeps” the material, i.e. we measure over a relatively prolonged period the small movement (the creep defined as creep compliance, J) of the sample by applying a small constant stress.Rheology in Polymer Additive Manufacturing
The importance of AM in polymer processing is closely linked to its capability of fabricating complex and customized polymer structures with precision.
Our ebook delves deep into the heart of AM, unveiling the power of reliable material characterization techniques, specifically thermal analysis and rheology.
Explore various thermal analysis methods like DSC, TGA, TMA, LFA and DMA! Dive into the world of rheology with rotational, oscillation and capillary rheometry, as NETZSCH Analyzing & Testing is the only company on the market who offers all rheological methods!
Learn how these techniques shape the behavior of materials in AM processes like Powder Bed Fusion, Material Extrusion, Vat Photopolymerization and more.
