The last decade has witnessed a huge development in additive manufacturing (AM) or 3D printing when compared with its counterpart, subtractive manufacturing. AM enables rapid prototyping, ease of ...

Engineers have succeeded in fabricating a nickel single crystal with only a very few crystalline defects by irradiating nickel powder with a large-radius, flat-top laser beam (i.e., a laser beam whose ...

image: . A graphical summary showing: (a) used raw organic and inorganic precursors, their molar ratios in synthesis; (b) laser photopolymerization and high-temperature calcination technology; (c) ...

Following December's 75% acquisition, engineering giant is pouring investment into additive manufacturing pioneer. Concept Laser's multi-laser systems for additive manufacturing. Less than three ...

The continued and rapid growth in the demand for components produced by the generative part manufacturing process, also known as laser additive manufacturing, has been a key driver in the decision by ...

To paraphrase Samuel Johnson, there was a time when 3D metal printing was like a dog walking on his hind legs – it wasn't done well; but you were surprised to find it done at all. Now that laser ...

The US researchers investigated nuclear reactor-grade steels made with a 3D printing process called laser powder bed fusion.

Selective laser sintering is one of the most widely used processes in additive manufacturing, but it is limited to printing with a single material at a time. Robotics engineers have now developed a ...

A container full of translucent liquid spins while a laser is used to harden the liquid to form a high-precision object. Researchers at Switzerland's Ecole polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) ...

NIMS and Osaka University Graduate School of Engineering have succeeded in fabricating a nickel single crystal with only a very few crystalline defects by irradiating nickel powder with a large-radius ...
