Material qualification

The material qualification corresponds to the empirical study of the behaviour of a material during its transformation by a Pam 3D printer.

Indeed, the dimensions and the design of Pam extruders induce a particular behaviour of the material.

Objectives: The study of this behaviour allows giving an estimation of the machine parameters to be used and the resolutions that will be possible to develop.

The realization of the service is made from:
- 5 kg of the material to be qualified provided by the applicant;
- all the technical documentation of the material (MSDS, TDS, Process guidelines, etc.).

The service concludes with the delivery of a technical report including :
- The range of values of the parameters to be used for a profile development;
- The presentation of the compatible output nozzles and the achievable resolutions after profile development;
- A study of the level of interlayer adhesion.

Finally, a hexagon is produced at the end of the qualification. This printing demonstrates the ability of the Pam system to shape the material and presents the material aspect.
