“Additive manufacturing” describes a range of technologies that convert CAD models into 3D forms, including stereolithography and fused deposition modeling, for polymers and other non-metallic ...

Scientists at The University of Manchester have uncovered how subtle changes in temperature during a promising metal ...

Additive manufacturing (AM) encompasses a suite of technologies that build parts layer by layer from digital models, offering unparalleled design freedom, material efficiency and customisation. The ...

The dynamics of additive manufacturing encompass a complex interplay of heat transfer, fluid flow, phase change and solidification that govern the development of microstructure, mechanical properties ...

Although additive manufacturing has already played an integral part in the creation of drones, there is a new trend ...

In the early 1980s, machine tool builders added milling spindles to turning machines, and Multi-Tasking was born. Within a decade, the concept quickly progressed to machines that not only combined ...

Researchers have developed a new 3D printing technique that allows the printing of whole objects while controlling the ...

Integrex i-400AM is a turnkey installation that, according to Mazak, is particularly well suited to small-lot production of difficult-to-cut materials, such as aerospace alloys, high-hardness ...

For metallic alloys in aerospace, machine learning can make the development of additive manufacturing (AM) processes both faster and cheaper. In collaboration with the University of Sheffield Advanced ...

Fraunhofer Institute for Laser Technolog (ILT), Aachen, Germany, is tackling the challenge of 3D printing large components economically by using a new process called Hybrid AM that combines ...

AM operators are currently using SEM as a characterization tool for finished products. SEM offers high spatial resolution so the surface quality of the parts that are made using AM processes can be ...

Additive manufacturing is the process of creating an object by building it one layer at a time. It is the opposite of subtractive manufacturing, in which an object is created by cutting away at a ...
