Researchers at Texas A&M tweak alloy microchemistry to achieve flawless metal 3D printing with LBPF. Colorized electron micrograph of a nickel powder alloy from the study. A new study by Texas A&M ...

University of Wisconsin-Madison engineers have found a way to simultaneously mitigate three types of defects in parts produced using a prominent additive manufacturing technique called laser powder ...

The concept of zero defect manufacturing has been around for decades, arising first in the aerospace and defense industry. Since then, this manufacturing approach has been adopted by the automotive ...

Humans have cast metal parts in basically the same way for thousands of years: by pouring molten metal into a mold, often made of compacted sand and clay. There’s a reason this ancient method is used ...

In sheet-metal fabrication, parts are formed from metal sheets by punching, cutting, stamping, and bending. 3D CAD files are created using a host of different CAD packages and then converted into ...

Metal components are shipped worldwide and represent a significant part of all import and export activities. However, the likelihood of product damage or harm to those handling the items means ...
