An engineering primer on simulating metal 3D printing processes. 3D printer printing metal. Laser sintering machine for metal. Given the unique characteristics of additive processes and the large ...

The Manufacturing Technology Centre (MTC), part of the High Value Manufacturing Catapult, supported by Innovate UK, is focused in accelerating the UK’s industrial growth, developing and proving ...

Laser heating during additive manufacturing (AM) induces extreme and transient thermal conditions which critically influence the microstructure evolution and part ...

Additive manufacturing is the process of creating an object by building it one layer at a time. It is the opposite of subtractive manufacturing, in which an object is created by cutting away at a ...

A comprehensive review maps how arc power, heat management, grain evolution, residual stress and defects jointly control WAAM Ti-6Al-4V components.

The software is said to offer 'significantly faster' pre-processing, better handling of large and complex builds, improved ...

Additive manufacturing (or 3D printing) performs well in prototyping, where speed and flexibility outweigh cost and throughput constraints. Problems begin when those same designs move into production.

Over the past decade, 3-D printing has transformed from a hobbyist or prototyping tool into an industrial-grade production process, referred to as additive manufacturing. Today, additively ...

Additive manufacturing is growing in popularity and can help support a company's supply chain strategy. Company leaders should learn the different types of additive manufacturing to determine if any ...
