Abstract
A novel numerical platform for through process modelling of multi-material SLM is discussed. The paper presents recent results on modelling of the powder removal operation focusing on gas flow and the loose powder particles entrained in the flow linked to the physical associated processes within a frame of the holistic platform allowing for multiphysics simulations and based entirely on homogeneous numerical methods such as CA and LBM avoiding unnecessary interfaces between different modules. The qualitative results reflect a typical approach for particle local removal in multi-material SLM.
