Abstract(s)

In order to develop better concepts and parameters for industrial production processes, an analysis of the engineering and design concepts applied in the sphere of additive manufacturing methods was elaborated. Focusing on Powder Bed technology, this work presents results of experiments derived from Selective Powder Deposition, using approaches for study, assistance and optimization of the influencing parameters in the process and results of the produced parts. Exploring subjects as sintering temperature, agglutination rate, densification process among others, adding these concepts in ceramics and minerals materials.
