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 ...
If you’ve avoided thinking about additive manufacturing for fear of fixing what isn’t broken, you’re not wrong. Additive opens up an entirely new realm of possibilities and, depending on your point of ...
Additive manufacturing has long been heralded for its flexibility as a production method. More recently, additive’s ability to safeguard against global supply chain challenges has helped accelerate ...
Additive manufacturing of tool steels encompasses a family of layer-wise processes that transform metallic powders into complex near-net-shape dies, moulds and tooling components. Key techniques ...
Additive manufacturing has emerged as a transformative approach for the fabrication of heat transfer devices, enabling unprecedented freedom in geometrical design and integration of internal features.
If you imagine how a bee might build a honeycomb, then you understand the basic premise for how additive manufacturing works, according to Robert Willig, CEO of the Society of Manufacturing Engineers, ...
Additive manufacturing has a distinct materials advantage when it comes to producing a component or part from either a polymer or metal printer versus traditional subtractive manufacturing techniques.
Additive manufacturing (AM), commonly known as 3D printing, has emerged as a transformative technology, particularly in the aerospace and biomedical ...
CEAD builds and implements large scale hybrid 3D printers, combining multiple manufacturing processes in one cell. The Flexbot can be used to 3D print a part to near net shape and to then post-process ...
In fall 2018, The Fabricator launched a sister magazine called The Additive Report, dedicated to covering the additive manufacturing industry. Honestly, the timing of the publication was a bit off, as ...
This workshop will explore opportunities to use statistical and data-driven methods for additive manufacturing qualification, including approaches that enhance dimensional accuracy and recent advances ...
When you board an airplane, put your bags in the overhead compartment, sit down in your seat and buckle your seatbelt, you probably do not pay much attention to the hinges, brackets, seat spreaders, ...
