A research team has made two discoveries that can expand additive manufacturing in aerospace and other industries that rely on strong metal parts. A research team led by Tao Sun, associate professor ...

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 ...

Five years ago, Hod Lipson and Melba Kurman gave us Fabricated: The New World of 3D Printing, 1 helping to both create and ride a wave of enthusiasm for 3D printing. This enthusiasm, combined with the ...

Based on historical development, manufacturing technologies can be divided into three phases: Craft-based manufacturing by hand with millimeters or sub-millimeters precision; Precision-controllable ...

Over the past decade, 3-D printing has transformed from a hobbyist or prototyping tool into an industrial-grade production process, referred to as additive manufacturing. Today, additively ...

Additive manufacturing (AM), also known as 3D printing, refers to a group of technologies that create products through the addition of materials (typically layer by layer) rather than by subtraction ...

Additive manufacturing has emerged as a collection of disruptive technologies for fabricating parts with complex geometries and site-specific microstructures. It has been even shown that their ...

The Biden Administration's new package of aid for the nation's manufacturing SMEs called Additive Manufacturing Forward aims to promote innovation and adoption of additive manufacturing (3D printing) ...
