“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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

In job shops, throughput often lives in the steps between cuts: tooling, offsets, refixturing, programming and training. The March issue features practical ways shops are cutting setup time and ...

Additive manufacturing, also known as 3D printing, creates parts layer by layer from digital files, enabling faster, less ...

Ohio’s 3D printing sector is gaining momentum, with new investment, job creation and advanced manufacturing growth across the state.

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 ...

Power plants are complex systems with countless moving parts, and in turn, countless opportunities for things to go wrong. With the advent of 3-D printing technology, repairing or replacing those ...

The global military 3D printing market, valued at USD 0.88 billion in 2021, is projected to reach USD 7.5 billion by 2031, ...
