15. Process Simulation of a WA-DED Multi-material Joint for Cryogenic Applications

Hugo Drexler (LKR Leichtmetallkompetenzzentrum Ranshofen GmbH)

12/11/2026, 11:00

Laser Melting, Electron Beam Melting & Direct Energy Deposition Processes

Oral Presentation

The increasing demand for developing lightweight liquid hydrogen (LH₂) storage systems, particularly for aviation applications, has intensified the need for reliable multi-material structures capable of operating under cryogenic conditions. While stainless steel is commonly used for LH₂ tanks due to its excellent cryogenic performance, hybrid concepts combining stainless steel and aluminium...

40. GPU-Accelerated Discrete Element Simulation of Powder Bed Formation in Binder Jetting

Dr Jules Topart (Université of Picardie Jules Verne)

12/11/2026, 11:20

Digitalisation, Artificial Intelligence & Simulation

Oral Presentation

Simulation has become an essential tool for understanding and optimizing
additive manufacturing (AM) processes. In Binder Jetting, part quality is
dictated to a large extent by the powder bed itself: local packing density,
layer homogeneity, and surface roughness directly govern binder penetration,
green-part integrity, and final density after sintering. Yet the recoating
step remains...

33. Anisotropic Gaussian-Process Surrogates for LPBF Thermo-Mechanical Calibration

Min Soo Kim (Inha University)

Digitalisation, Artificial Intelligence & Simulation

Oral Presentation

Thermo-mechanical simulation of Laser-Powder Bed Fusion (L-PBF) requires calibration against measured displacement, but the common practice of tuning a single Strain Scaling Factor (SSF) applies one constant to the entire strain field and cannot reproduce the localized displacement caused by non-uniform thermal contraction. We present an active-learning framework for multi-parameter inverse...

38. Physics-Guided Gaussian Process Classification of Cracks in LPBF with Ti-6Al-4V Parts

Ms Emily Esmeralda Carvajal Camelo (Materialise, LMSD Lab, KULeuven)

12/11/2026, 12:00

Digitalisation, Artificial Intelligence & Simulation

Oral Presentation

Laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) produces complex metal alloy geometries and ready-to-use prototypes for industrial applications; However, this geometric freedom still depends heavily on preparation expertise and process tuning to achieve a successful first print. Among the failures that are induced by the manufacturing process cracks are especially critical, as they can lead to part rejection...
