Additive Manufacturing (AM), also known as three-dimensional printing, encompasses a suite of digitally driven processes that build complex parts layer by layer directly from computer models. By ...

Sustainable additive manufacturing encompasses a suite of techniques that build components layer by layer, offering unprecedented design freedom and material efficiency compared with conventional ...

Many materials can be used for additive manufacturing and 3D printing and new ones are still being developed. Depending on the manufacturing machine, different materials in different form factors are ...

Additive Manufacturing (AM) is a term used to identify the manufacturing processes performed by 3D printing through layer-by-layer construction. In addition to avoiding the generation of waste through ...

Additive manufacturing has a distinct materials advantage when it comes to producing a component or part from either a polymer or metal printer versus traditional subtractive manufacturing techniques.

Key opportunities include AI-driven defect detection, multi-sensor closed-loop monitoring, machine-agnostic software, and expansion across aerospace, medical, automotive, energy and industrial ...

The AM process begins with a digital design, usually created using computer-aided design (CAD) software, which is then sliced into thin layers. Depending on the specific AM technique, material may be ...

Historically, the evolution of aerospace materials processing has been driven by the unyielding quest for lighter, stronger, and more durable materials. From the initial days of wood and fabric in ...

Getting it right the first time isn’t just a good idea; in manufacturing it’s good business. A few attempts at creation can hold up production, driving up costs and time while tying up expensive ...

Composite 3D printing is often used for tooling and prototypes, but companies like Dive Technologies and Moi Composites are demonstrating that additive manufacturing (AM) can help solve challenges in ...

EADS and GKN have teamed up at their Filton research centres to drive a radical new manufacturing technology to the aerospace market. So-called additive layer manufacturing (ALM), a technique for ...
