Physics of Metal 3D Printing
Metal Additive Manufacturing (AM) processes continue to improve in speed, cost, efficiency, and part quality. However, this trend is asymptotic. Metal AM technologies are ultimately constrained by the underlying laws of physics. Namely, the physics governing the...
3D Printing Industrial Metal Parts & Numerical Prediction for Distortion
In the recent ‘Numerical prediction of distortion. Benchmarking of Additive Works Amphion against real AM component,’ authors Nils Keller and Michal Prugarewicz explore how far metal 3D printing has come. . Looking back on a project in 2015, the authors explain that...
AddUp Partners with ORNL for 3D-Printed Metal Tooling
French metal 3D printing group AddUp has entered into a $2.7 million agreement with the U.S. Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) to push laser powder bed fusion (PBF) for the use of 3D printing metal molds. . While additive manufacturing (AM)...
Transistor-Based Localized-Microwave-Heating May Lead to New Metal 3D Printing Technology
In the recently published ‘ Incremental solidification (toward 3D-printing) of metal powders by transistor-based microwave applicator ,’ authors Amir Shelef and Eli Jerby explore the potential of a new device for metal printing, using a compact scheme in a...
3D Printing Ten Times Faster 3D Printing of Metal Components
The Fraunhofer lead project Future AM aims to accelerate the additive production of metal components by at least a factor of 10. . Six Fraunhofer Institutes have joined forces to deliver tangible results at Formnext 2019. As part of Future AM, the scientists at the...
Additive Manufacturing 3D Printing with Amorphous Metals
Amorphous metals are highly elastic, hard, light and at the same time break-resistant. Thus they are ideal materials for high-tech applications. In additive manufacturing, these advantages can be used in a completely new way. . Whether in aerospace, medical...
3D Diatom–Designed and Selective Laser Melting (SLM) Manufactured Metallic Structures
Diatom frustules, with their diverse three-dimensional regular silica structures and nano- to micrometer dimensions, represent perfect model systems for biomimetic fabrication of materials and devices. . The structure of a frustule of the diatom Didymosphenia...
Is 3D Printed Tooling a Solution for Die Casting?
Die casting is a particularly harsh operation. The process involves forcing molten metal into a mold cavity at high pressure, and is commonly used to make automotive parts such as engine blocks, wheels and engine cradles. The tooling that produces these parts must be...
Xerox’s Kevin Lewis on Their Metal Printing Technology
Xerox’s market entry in 3D printing was a muddled and confusing affair. . A mention at an investor conference lead to us realizing that the company had bought metal dripping startup Vader Systems . So Xerox wasn’t going to be working with inkjet heads or going to do...
