Seminar on Multiphysics Simulation of Additive Manufacturing Processes

The event took place starting at 2:00 PM in a hybrid format. In-person attendance was held in the Reform Hall of the Faculty of Engineering at the National University of the Northeast (UNNE) in Resistencia, Chaco, while a large number of participants joined the event virtually via the live stream on Google Meet and YouTube.

During his presentation, titled "Multiphysics Simulation of Near-Net-Shape Additive Manufacturing Processes Using the Finite Element Method," Dr. Rossi addressed the revolutionary impact of additive manufacturing on modern industrial design. He presented a multiphysics simulation infrastructure specifically designed to predict the thermal and mechanical evolution of advanced technologies such as Laser Powder Bed Fusion (L-PBF) and Composite Extrusion Manufacturing (CEM). The complex numerical challenges of capturing phenomena such as time domain evolution and temperature-dependent phase changes were also discussed in depth.

Regarding the value of these tools, the speaker emphasized: “Understanding the physics behind additive manufacturing through computer simulation is not just a technical advantage; it is the necessary bridge to transform materials innovation into real and efficient industrial solutions.”

It is worth noting that Dr. Rossi has strong ties to the region: he is a Civil Engineer, a graduate of the National University of the Northeast (UNNE), and holds a PhD in Engineering from the National University of the Littoral (UNL). Following a distinguished career that included a doctoral fellowship at CIMEC (CONICET-UNL) and his current role in Europe participating in international R&D projects, he maintains his commitment to the local community by teaching at the Faculty of Engineering of UNNE.
