What may be the biggest build volume in additive manufacturing, at least for metal parts, is being done by Sciaky Inc. using a technology that combines an electron beam welding gun with wirefeed ...

Additive manufacturing has transformed industries by providing designers the freedom to create complex structures that traditional manufacturing cannot accommodate. However, along with this innovation ...

Using neutrons to see the additive manufacturing process at the atomic level, scientists have shown that they can measure strain in a material as it evolves and track how atoms move in response to ...

Material engineers have created a patent-pending process to develop ultrahigh-strength aluminum alloys that are suitable for additive manufacturing because of their plastic deformability. They have ...

Additive manufacturing enthusiasts, about 10 years ago, described a dream where 3D printing rose from rapid prototyping and design into a large-scale production technology. In 2024, financial ...

April 8 (Reuters) - RTX (RTX.N), opens new tab said on Tuesday its engine making subsidiary Pratt & Whitney has developed an additive manufacturing repair process for its geared turbofan (GTF) engine ...

Additive manufacturing (or 3D printing) performs well in prototyping, where speed and flexibility outweigh cost and throughput constraints. Problems begin when those same designs move into production.

We’re seeing a number of efforts in the aerospace industry to increase the use of additive manufacturing. The programs range from the White House program, AM Forward, to defense programs designed to ...
