AM operators are currently using SEM as a characterization tool for finished products. SEM offers high spatial resolution so the surface quality of the parts that are made using AM processes can be ...

A one day in person workshop will be held to examine a set of topics that focus on defense specific considerations. Sessions will cover the current state of the art approaches that enhance predictive ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Additive manufacturing — commonly known as 3D printing — has become a staple area of study across engineering disciplines because of its potential to revolutionize the design ...

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 ...

Over the past decade, 3-D printing has transformed from a hobbyist or prototyping tool into an industrial-grade production process, referred to as additive manufacturing. Today, additively ...

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 ...

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 ...
