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 ...

Broad success of ExOne’s patented Triple Advanced Compaction Technology (ACT), combined with a market-leading portfolio of binders, is enabling binder jetting of a wider range of powder types with a ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Students at ETH Zurich have developed a laser power bed fusion machine that follows a circular tool path to print round components, thereby being able to process multiple metals at once. The system ...

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 ...

QinetiQ successfully completed the maiden flight of a 3D printed structural component made from recycled titanium.

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 ...
