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 ...

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 ...

“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 ...

Turbomachinery plays a critical role in modern aerospace and energy systems, where component performance directly affects ...

Using neutrons to see the additive manufacturing process at the atomic level, scientists have shown that they can measure strain in a material as it evolves and track how atoms move in response to ...

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 ...

Most of us identify manufacturing processes by the equipment used. But manufacturing is also identified in a broader sense, by the way, the manufacturing is being accomplished. A single way a product ...

For metallic alloys in aerospace, machine learning can make the development of additive manufacturing (AM) processes both faster and cheaper. In collaboration with the University of Sheffield Advanced ...

The research, published in Materials & Design, provides new insight into molten metal deposition (MMD), an additive ...

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 ...

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 ...

3D printing could very well revolutionize how the military manufactures munitions, but not in the way you might be thinking.
