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 (AM) encompasses a suite of layer-by-layer fabrication techniques that enable the rapid production of complex geometries from digital models. Central to the industrial adoption ...

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 ...

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.

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, ...

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 additive manufacturing market is no longer a prototyping niche it has turned into a high velocity industrial engine, set ...

Charles Goulding and Lia Palumbo explore how 3D printing, scanning, and digital design are advancing equestrian equipment and ...

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 ...

Although artificially created metamaterials probably won't reach large-scale commercialization for 10 years or so, some are already appearing in niche applications like electronics, communications, ...

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, ...
