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 ...

Hiroshima University advances 3D printing of WC–Co using hot-wire laser irradiation to cut waste and cost while keeping extreme hardness.

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) ...

Both print, but they use different technologies that serve different purposes and will suit different people. Here's how to decide which is right for you.

Researchers have resolved a long-standing debate surrounding laser additive manufacturing processes with a pioneering approach to defect detection. Researchers from EPFL have resolved a long-standing ...

When you think of manufacturing you probably envision buildings with machines that are huge. But in this nondescript Chicago storefront a revolution is transforming the American factory — with very ...

NASA and Ohio State researchers explore laser-based 3D printing of lunar regolith to create durable habitats, tools and structures for long-term Moon missions.
