Another approach to avoiding defects during metal additive manufacturing
One of the challenges operators encounter while using laser powder bed fusion is the formation of tiny bubbles or pores during the printing process which lead to weak spots in finished 3D printed components.
These...
Apium Filament Dryer can reduce moisture-related additive manufacturing defects
The FDM manufacturing process often leads to moisture-related 3D printing defects which results in poor print quality. This might be caused by the type of filaments used. Indeed, when they integrate polymer, materials are...
What if Gold can detect defects in 3D printed parts?
At Vanderbilt University (USA), scientists would have developed a technique to bring out the defects that can be integrated in a 3D printed part. This technique consists in using gold particles that would make...
Invent Medical manufactures 3D printed helmets for cranial defects in babies
Invent Medical manufactures helmets that can treat craniosynostosis (cranial defects that often affect babies).
The company uses HP's Multi Jet Fusion technology in its manufacturing and explains in this video the benefits in terms of...
Use of a new biopolymer nanocomposite for 3D printing bone grafts
The latest biopolymer nanocomposite material for bone grafts has been developed at the University of Waterloo. The University of Waterloo focused on offering optimal health and well-being via tech advancement, virtual care, and health...
UK Researchers relied on the “enhancement factor” to develop 3D-printed lattices with advanced properties
Engineers in the UK and Italy are behind the research on the deformation mechanisms of 3D printed materials. The latter aims to provide insight into the balance of structural factors at play in the...
BLT launches powders for Additive Manufacturing, shares specific cases to highlight their capabilities
To provide more solutions to industrial companies, Bright Laser Technologies (BLT) has introduced a high-strength aluminum for Selective Laser Melting (SLM) and the BLT-Ti65 powder for Selective Laser Melting (SLM) and Directed Energy Deposition...
The use of HIP for critical 3D printed parts: introduction and applications
Hot isostatic pressing (HIP) is a process used to reduce porosity and increase density in powders, cast and sintered parts in a furnace at high pressure (100-200 MPa) and at temperatures from 900 to...
Makino and Fraunhofer ILT develop a process that can produce, coat or repair 3D printable complex geometries
The Fraunhofer Institute for Laser Technology ILT and Makino, a globally recognized manufacturer of machine tools collaborate together to develop a process that can efficiently produce, coat or repair complex geometries with high-strength materials.
