Additive manufacturing is growing in popularity and can help support a company's supply chain strategy. Company leaders should learn the different types of additive manufacturing to determine if any ...

Dr. Bourell began his presentation by defining additive manufacturing as the ability to print three-dimensional (3D) objects. The technology has been in existence for 20 or 30 years and is undergoing ...

Powder bed fusion is one of several types of additive manufacturing. It can potentially benefit manufacturers because it may cost less than other additive manufacturing approaches and is a good ...

Additive manufacturing (AM) encompasses a suite of layer-by-layer fabrication techniques that enable the rapid production of complex geometries from digital models. Central to the industrial adoption ...

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 ...

If you imagine how a bee might build a honeycomb, then you understand the basic premise for how additive manufacturing works, according to Robert Willig, CEO of the Society of Manufacturing Engineers, ...

A team at the US Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) has spent eight weeks 3D-printing a massive steel mold that stands 6 feet tall, measures 4 feet wide and weighs nearly 2 ...

From printing one-of-a-kind parts to enabling rapid, on-site repairs, additive manufacturing is disrupting the industrial base. Innovations in material and process have opened new possibilities, which ...

This workshop will explore opportunities to use statistical and data-driven methods for additive manufacturing qualification, including approaches that enhance dimensional accuracy and recent advances ...

Aenne Koester, head of additive engineering and manufacturing at Lufthansa Technik Additive manufacturing already prints tens of thousands of polymer parts for major MROs every year. The technique ...

While most accounts of simulation for additive manufacturing (AM) focus on the complex interplay between thermo-mechanical phenomena that occur in 3D printing, conceptually separating the thermal and ...
