additive manufacturing

A research team at the Department of Joining Technology of the Korea Institute of Materials Science (KIMS) developed a foundational technology to control the volume of molten metal in the process of 3D printing metal using welding. They…

Structural defects that form during an additive manufacturing building process have prevented its wide adoption. Researchers from the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory developed a new method to detect and predict…

NIMS and Osaka University researchers succeeded in fabricating a nickel single crystal with only a very few crystalline defects, irradiating nickel powder with a large-radius, flat-top laser beam. The technique may be useful in fabricating…

Dozens of black cats had ended up dead. They weren't run over or the target of cruel pranks. Rather, they were just lumpy cat bodies resembling flattened quilted dog toys with squeakers with a perfectly preserved head and tail. I stumbled…

We had the opportunity to chat with Bob Zubrickie, Manager of the 3D Printing and Prototyping Center at TE Connectivity. Zubrickie's diversified background and his 40 years of experience in prototyping at TE Connectivity gives us a wide…

Researchers are able to accelerate the development time of nanometer structures by speeding up precursor molecules using a tiny, high-energy supersonic jet of inert gas. The rapid additive manufacturing technique allows them to produce…
