When baking a cake, what you put in isn’t the same as what you get out. Biting into soft golden sponge doesn’t taste like egg or flour or sugar; it tastes like cake – or it should if you follow…
In the world of modern manufacturing, additive manufacturing (AM) has emerged as a revolutionary technology that holds the promise of transforming industries through its capability to produce complex geometries, reduce lead times, and enable on-demand production. However, as the adoption…
As the case for production-scale additive manufacturing builds, one sticky point is 3D-printed part consistency and quality, especially for highly regulated industries such as aerospace and defense. Yet advances in hardware monitoring systems and process control software, coupled with emerging…
Identifying defects in 3D printed items is one of the ongoing challenges to be overcome if the technology is to be more widely adopted. This development is very promising. Small defects in 3D printed metal parts limit their performance and…
Gas turbines are complex components to manufacture, but additive manufacturing has been successfully utilized to accelerate design cycle times, reduce development test times, provide better test data and reduce the overall time to the release of the final component. It…
X-rays reveal more about 3D-printed metal parts as they are being made, and how to improve them Metal 3D printing could revolutionize manufacturing, but concerns over part quality and certification has kept many industries from jumping into the technology with…
When you 3D print something, you expect that the image you see on your computer screen will be perfectly reproduced on the 3D printer. But that’s not always the case, especially when it comes to more complex industrial metal prints.…
