In the Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF) process, metal powder is selectively melted and solidified layer by layer using a laser ...
Engineers at MIT have taken a metal that usually trades strength for lightness and pushed it into an entirely new class, ...
Designing materials that are both lightweight and exceptionally robust has always been a goal for engineers. However, ...
Researchers have improved flaw detection to increase confidence in metal parts that are 3D-printed using laser powder bed fusion. Researchers at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National ...
In additive manufacturing (AM), metal parts are commonly 3D-printed using a fabrication technique called “laser powder bed fusion” (LPBF). LPBF involves repeated rapid metal powder melting and ...
What if the factories building tomorrow’s aerospace components, medical devices, and clean energy systems could do so without ...
A recent study in Scientific Reports explored how volume energy density (VED) during laser powder bed fusion (L-PBF) affects the microstructure and corrosion resistance of NiTi alloys (Nitinol). The ...
Aluminum is one of the most useful metals in modern life. It is light, strong, affordable, and easy to recycle. That is why ...
