Damascus steel is a material of almost mythical fame, used to forge legendary swords such as Excalibur and Mimung. The Fraunhofer Institute for Laser Technology ILT in Aachen and the Max-Planck-Institute for Iron Research (MPIE) in Düsseldorf have been investigating a 3D printing method that could be used to produce a ferrous composite material of balanced hardness and toughness – all without the need for forging skills or furnaces.
