Abstract
Advancements in the processing of particulate materials are key enablers for 3D printing and battery manufacturing. In this talk I will describe recent advances in each of these fields, and how these advancements add value for end products which utilize 3D printing and batteries. In the case of 3D printing, I will describe key advantages gained by utilizing particulate materials in the forming of complex objects, the challenges particulate materials pose for thermal processing, and how next-generation thermal processing technologies (developed at Desktop Metal) enables part complexity and material variety at scale. For batteries, I will describe how advances in particle engineering can enable the implementation of solvent-free electrode manufacturing (developed by AM Batteries).
