Quasicrystals, once considered impossible, were found in a 3D-printed aluminum alloy – and they make it stronger. This could ...

In future studies, the researchers will use an in-process monitoring system to transform the 3D-printing method into a more robust, production-ready method. They also plan to incorporate other metal ...

Scientists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have discovered something surprising that could ...

Andrew Iams saw something strange while looking through his electron microscope. He was examining a sliver of a new aluminum ...

Andrew Iams found his own quasicrystals in 3D-printed aluminum. There are a few different ways to 3D-print metals, but the most common is called “powder bed fusion.” It works like this: Metal powder ...

Learn how ADDiTEC Fusion S metal 3D printer expands 3D printing possibilities with its advanced laser metal PBF technology.

In 2017, a team at HRL Laboratories, based in California, and UC Santa Barbara discovered a high-strength aluminum alloy that could be 3D printed. They found that adding zirconium to the aluminum ...

Historically, 3D metal printing utilises three principal techniques: binder jetting, powder bed fusion and directed energy deposition. Powder bed fusion, the most prevalent, employs sophisticated ...

Additive Plus has introduced AO Metal, a line of low-cost laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) 3D printers geared towards R&D applications.

To find out how long 3D-printed metal parts are likely to last in the field, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency is providing up to $10.3M to a University of Michigan-led team.

How Does Metal 3D Printing Work? There are a few different ways to 3D-print metals, but the most common is called "powder bed fusion." It works like this: Metal powder is spread evenly in a thin ...
