The SuPreAM project was showcased at the COMPLAS 2025, the XVIII International Conference on Computational Plasticity, Fundamentals and Applications Conference held within 2 – 5 September in Barcelona.
Josep Maria Carbonell, project partner from the International Centre for Numerical Methods in Engineering (CIMNE), represented the SuPreAM team in the session titled “Mechanical Behaviour of Metallic Materials in Manufacturing Processes”. He delivered a presentation entitled “Modelling milling processes for surface finish prediction in additively manufactured parts using the PFEM”, highlighting key research outcomes developed within the SuPreAM project.
The presentation showcased a study focused on applying the Particle Finite Element Method (PFEM) to model milling in additively manufactured parts. The goal is to predict the finished surface characteristics, and the residual stresses left in the material after processing.
The COMPLAS 2025 conference aims to address both the theoretical bases for the solution of nonlinear solid mechanics problems, involving plasticity and other material nonlinearities, and the numerical algorithms necessary for an efficient and robust computer implementation.
