“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 ...

Ohio’s 3D printing sector is gaining momentum, with new investment, job creation and advanced manufacturing growth across the state.

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Integrex i-400AM is a turnkey installation that, according to Mazak, is particularly well suited to small-lot production of difficult-to-cut materials, such as aerospace alloys, high-hardness ...

Austal, Curtin University and AMCRC launch collaborative research to identify where additive manufacturing delivers the ...

Power plants are complex systems with countless moving parts, and in turn, countless opportunities for things to go wrong. With the advent of 3-D printing technology, repairing or replacing those ...

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 ...

In job shops, throughput often lives in the steps between cuts: tooling, offsets, refixturing, programming and training. The March issue features practical ways shops are cutting setup time and ...

The additive manufacturing market is no longer a prototyping niche it has turned into a high velocity industrial engine, set ...

Additive manufacturing is the process of creating an object by building it one layer at a time. It is the opposite of subtractive manufacturing, in which an object is created by cutting away at a ...
