SuPreAM partners from CIMNE – the International Centre for Numerical Methods in Engineering – attended the 43rd Solid Mechanics Conference (SolMech) which took place from 16 – 18 September in Wroclaw, Poland.
Josep Maria Carbonell, project partner and Associate Research Professor at CIMNE, participated in the session “Manufacturing processes and materials processing II” and showcased the work “Numerical modelling of machining and finishing operations using the PFEM”, which is based on SuPreAM project.
The presentation introduced the advanced use of the Particle Finite Element Method (PFEM) to simulate machining and finishing processes. As additive manufacturing in metals continues to attract growing industrial attention, the challenge of enhancing surface quality remains crucial. This presentation showcased how PFEM can be applied to improve the surface finish of parts produced through additive manufacturing, while also achieving tighter tolerances.
The Solid Mechanics (SolMech) Conferences are a biennial international series, organized by the Institute of Fundamental Technological Research of the Polish Academy of Sciences (IPPT PAN). These conferences bring together researchers from around the globe, offering a platform to exchange ideas and share insights on the latest advancements in the field of solid mechanics.
