ADVANCED MATERIALS & PROCESSES | JULY/AUGUST 2024 52 iTSSe TSS iTSSe TSS is that the powder particles remain in a solid state and are not subjected to melting. This enables deposition of materials that would otherwise be detrimentally affected by melting in powder bed fusion or other direct energy AM techniques, proving especially valuable in industries such as space and electronics. DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES In the era of rapid AM technological advancement along with the availability of continual in-process monitoring and control data, there is a real opportunity to apply machine learning and digital technologies to cold spray. Virtual twins, digital twins, augmented reality, and automated toolpaths have emerged as revolutionary paradigms to enhance and redefine processes to achieve optimum cold spray technology. The ability to capture and exploit data enables highly flexible and reconfigurable production processes, optimized quality management, and end-to-end supply chain efficiency. ~iTSSe For more information: Neil Matthews, TSS-HoF, senior technical fellow, Titomic Limited, 365 Ferntree Gully Rd., Mount Waverly, Victoria 3149, Australia, +61 (0) 419 311 904, neil.matthews@titomic.com, titomic.com.
