With its high strength to weight ratio and recyclability, aluminum is a popular material choice for automotive parts, like this demo part, which is modeled after an automotive inverter housing. But ...

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 ...

The software that supports additive manufacturing is a vital part of the 3D printing process—arguably as important as the 3D printer itself. Computer-aided design, manufacturing and engineering ...

DETROIT ARSENAL—Army additive manufacturing experts are using an advanced materials process to replace damaged ground vehicle parts more quickly, reducing vehicle down-time in formations. The Battle ...

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 ...

(Nanowerk News) Next-generation technology requires next-generation materials that can be tailored to exact mission requirements. Additive manufacturing, or 3D printing, has already revolutionized ...

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