Scientists develop ‘designer’ titanium alloys using 3D printing

AU Manufacturing

A team of researchers from RMIT University and the University of Sydney has developed a new class of ductile and strong titanium alloys using a combination of alloy design and 3D printing. Our work may provide a template to mitigate these oxygen embrittlement issues through 3D printing and microstructure design,” Dr Chen said.

Know Your Würth: CEO AJ Strandquist on How Würth Additive Can Change 3D Printing

Fastener News Desk

Although Würth Industry does many other things as well, the Germany-based parent company got its start in fasteners and is the world leader in that field. Naturally, then, Strandquist views AM through the lens of managing what many would consider the least exciting area of global supply chains. It’s a promise that’s simultaneously boring and bold.

Does Metal Additive Manufacturing Belong in a Machine Shop? The Answer Is Mixed

Modern Machine Shop

Part of the reason this expansion made sense for Imperial was its machining expertise. Before I expound on that, an aside: One AM capability that does widely make sense for machine shops is polymer 3D printing. Polymer 3D printing thus complements and supports metalworking machine tools.

The technology behind serial production

Manufacturer's Monthly

Initially developed by a small team in Sweden, Digital Metal began as a subsidiary of Höganäs AB as a relative unknown in 3D printing. Digital Metal’s 3D metal printing machines with proprietary, high-precision binder jetting technology, required further commercialisation to get into the hands of industry.

Sifting through the Hype: A Brief Guide to Discerning Truth in Additive Manufacturing

Additive Manufacturing

The trick about 3D printing, as we’ve learned over the years, is to look at announcements with a critical eye. Gartner’s Hype Cycle has made us all students of overblown trends and what they mean en route to new manufacturing realities. How does this compare to other materials’ print speeds? World’s first Is it?
