This AM simulation shows the extrusion of a filament that is packed with solid metal powder. After the deposition, the part is placed in an oven to burn out the binder and create a solid metal component. The model includes interactions between the particles at the extrusion stage, thanks to a Discrete Element Method (DEM) model that is coupled with fluid flow solver.
