ORNL researchers 3D print defect-free tungsten parts
Remember when I told you that tungsten’s hardness and extremely high melting point have always made it difficult to process via additive manufacturing technologies? Add to that the fact that the development of defects...
Kennametal to advance 3D Printing Tungsten Carbide within GE Additive’s Beta Partner Program
Amid all the partners of GE Additive’s Beta Partner Program, Kennametal is certainly the one that we will watch out closely. In case you are not aware of it, in 2017, machine manufacturer GE...
Rapid 3DShield unveils a 3D printable radiation shielding material based on Tungsten
“What began as a quest for a non-toxic 3D-printable radiation shielding solution resulted in the creation of Rapid 3DShield Tungsten Filament”, developer of metal 3D printing filaments The Virtual Foundry said from the outset....
A Look at 3D Printed Tungsten Parts with DUNLEE
Tungsten is one of those rare metals that is utilized for the production of hard materials such as tungsten carbide and other major alloys and steels. Due to its high ductile-brittle transition temperature, manufacturers...
What causes crack formation in 3D-printed tungsten?
Boasting the highest melting and boiling points of all known elements, tungsten has become a popular choice for applications involving extreme temperatures, including lightbulb filaments, arc welding, radiation shielding and, more recently, as plasma-facing...

ExOne and Global Tungsten & Powders Corp. signed a collaboration to develop tungsten-based metal 3D printing using binder jetting.Global Tungsten & Powders Corp. is a manufacturer of tungsten metal powders whereas ExOne is a...
ORNL 3D prints “the lightest crack-free alloy” for ultrahot gas turbines
Researchers from Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) and the National Energy Technology Laboratory have 3D-printed a crack-free alloy that can operate without melting at temperatures over 2400°F (1315.5°C).
This latest achievement from ORNL could enable...
CERATIZIT & PLANSEE to showcase refractory metals for Additive Manufacturing at Formnext 2024
This is the first time CERATIZIT and PLANSEE, part of the Austrian Plansee Group, will jointly show Additive Manufacturing solutions that include refractory metals such as molybdenum, tungsten, and cemented carbide at Formnext in...
Volkmann GmbH on the concept of closed circuit in powder handling for 3D-printed parts
As you may already know, once they pop out of the 3D printer, 3D printed parts must undergo some sort of post-processing (such as removing supports, tumbling, sandblasting, CNC milling, chemical dips or even...
