Dr. Bourell began his presentation by defining additive manufacturing as the ability to print three-dimensional (3D) objects. The technology has been in existence for 20 or 30 years and is undergoing ...

Additive manufacturing has long been heralded for its flexibility as a production method. More recently, additive’s ability to safeguard against global supply chain challenges has helped accelerate ...

Additive manufacturing of tool steels encompasses a family of layer-wise processes that transform metallic powders into complex near-net-shape dies, moulds and tooling components. Key techniques ...

If you imagine how a bee might build a honeycomb, then you understand the basic premise for how additive manufacturing works, according to Robert Willig, CEO of the Society of Manufacturing Engineers, ...

Additive manufacturing has emerged as a transformative approach for the fabrication of heat transfer devices, enabling unprecedented freedom in geometrical design and integration of internal features.

Metal additive manufacturing continues to expand beyond aerospace prototypes and into production-focused energy systems.

Aenne Koester, head of additive engineering and manufacturing at Lufthansa Technik Additive manufacturing already prints tens of thousands of polymer parts for major MROs every year. The technique ...

Additive manufacturing has a distinct materials advantage when it comes to producing a component or part from either a polymer or metal printer versus traditional subtractive manufacturing techniques.

This workshop will explore opportunities to use statistical and data-driven methods for additive manufacturing qualification, including approaches that enhance dimensional accuracy and recent advances ...

The figure shows the evolution of the microstructure of the melt pool under the influence of the simulated transient temperature field. Nucleated grains are represented in pink-purple plots, while ...

When you board an airplane, put your bags in the overhead compartment, sit down in your seat and buckle your seatbelt, you probably do not pay much attention to the hinges, brackets, seat spreaders, ...

The Nadcap® program – which provides critical process accreditations of suppliers in the aviation, defense, and space industries – is developing a new Task Group for Additive Manufacturing (AM). The ...
