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

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, ...

Powder bed fusion (PBF) is a type of additive manufacturing used in industry due to low material waste and cost. Layers of powdered material are melted or sintered using a laser or electron beam to ...

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 ...

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 ...

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, ...

Imagine printing a nuclear reactor core — or nuclear fuel pellets — in 3D. It may sound far-fetched that 3D printing could create materials robust enough to withstand the extreme environment of a ...

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 ...

Editor’s note: This is the first article in a two-part series exploring additive manufacturing. The Pentagon has poured unprecedented funds into additive manufacturing as a potential game-changer for ...

It is a thermomechanical finite element simulator that runs up to 10,000 times faster than any comparable solution currently available on the market. The tool has been validated by the National ...
