Towards a Numerical Simulation of Direct Manufacturing of Thermoplastic Parts by Powder Laser Sintering

Résumé

Direct manufacturing technology using Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) on thermoplastic powders allows obtaining final parts in a short time, with classical polymer density and a high flexibility of shape and evolution of parts. The physical base of this process is the coalescence of grains, which initiates the densification of powder during SLS. This study presents a 2D C-NEM simulation of the whole process. We firstly focus on the chosen method and its advantages. We present the simulation details and validate the modeling through a 2D infinite cylinders coalescence simulation. The mesh of the grain interface is continuously adapted to the local curvature to better capture the coalescence phenomenon. We are able to simulate the sintering of twelve particles laying on a support within some hours.
