Researchers have improved flaw detection to increase confidence in metal parts that are 3D-printed using laser powder bed fusion. Researchers at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National ...

The laser selectively melds predetermined areas of a powder bed by scanning cross-sections derived from a 3D digital representation of the needed part. Following the scanning of each cross-section, a ...

Students at ETH Zurich have developed a multi-metal 3D printing process that can produce rocket engine components in days ...

Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) is an additive manufacturing method commonly used for rapid prototyping and low-volume production of functional parts. During SLS, a laser beam is used to sinter ...

(MENAFN- GetNews) As Additive Manufacturing continues to move from prototyping to production, the choice ofMetal powder has become a critical factor in part quality, process stability, and end-use ...

Powder 3D printing, specifically Selective Laser Sintering (SLS), offers several advantages over traditional filament and resin 3D printing methods. In the world of 3D printing, powder-based ...

Laser powder bed fusion, a 3D-printing technique, offers potential in the manufacturing industry, particularly when fabricating nickel-titanium shape memory alloys with complex geometries. Although ...

3D-printed parts don’t just pop out of the printer ready to go. Almost all of them must go through some post-processing, such as removing supports, tumbling, sand blasting, CNC milling and chemical ...

Debinding and sintering are the make-or-break stages of 3D printing with metal powder filament. With a small, tabletop 3D ...
