Our Goals with the REPMaM Project

Develop a continuous atomization method for critical alloys and ensure stability of powder properties.

Apply machine learning to identify key performance indicators and establish smart atomization rules.

Validate the smart atomization process through trials for both powder production and additive manufacturing.
