With its high strength to weight ratio and recyclability, aluminum is a popular material choice for automotive parts, like this demo part, which is modeled after an automotive inverter housing. But ...

Material engineers have created a patent-pending process to develop ultrahigh-strength aluminum alloys that are suitable for additive manufacturing because of their plastic deformability. They have ...

The software that supports additive manufacturing is a vital part of the 3D printing process—arguably as important as the 3D printer itself. Computer-aided design, manufacturing and engineering ...

DETROIT ARSENAL—Army additive manufacturing experts are using an advanced materials process to replace damaged ground vehicle parts more quickly, reducing vehicle down-time in formations. The Battle ...

(Nanowerk News) Next-generation technology requires next-generation materials that can be tailored to exact mission requirements. Additive manufacturing, or 3D printing, has already revolutionized ...

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 ...

Researchers have resolved a long-standing debate surrounding laser additive manufacturing processes with a pioneering approach to defect detection. Researchers from EPFL have resolved a long-standing ...

Purdue University material engineers have created a patent-pending process to develop ultrahigh-strength aluminum alloys that are suitable for additive manufacturing because of their plastic ...
