LPW unveils PowderFlow measurement kit for AM systems

LPW Technology has launched PowderFlow, a system that allows users to quickly and fully characterise the powder flow in additive manufacturing (AM) systems to known ASTM standards.

LPW says that some users may confuse machine problems with powder problems and vice versa, resulting in significant time and cost being wasted before a fault is found. With this in mind, PowderFlow has been developed.

The measurement kit is delivered in a case and allows users to determine the following: apparent density ASTM B212; angle of repose; Hall flow ASTM B213; and Carney flow ASTM B964.
