PUMA:POWDER UTILIZATION MODELING APPLICATION

Abstract

SF-25-084 PUMA a high performance modeling framework to simulate powder processing. It provides a scalable tool for manufacturers to simulate powder pre- and post-processing. The tool can predict the distortion, residual stress, and (for reactive processes) reaction completion fraction of complex parts after curing/debinding, sintering, and infiltration processes. These predictions are key metrics industry uses to optimize these processes to produce dense, defect-free, stable components.
