The software that supports additive manufacturing is a vital part of the 3D printing process—arguably as important as the 3D printer itself. Computer-aided design, manufacturing and engineering ...

Aircraft and composites manufacturers continue to explore new ways to leverage additive manufacturing (AM) to cut costs, reduce weight, and speed part production. One of the keys to broader adoption: ...

Dr. Bourell began his presentation by defining additive manufacturing as the ability to print three-dimensional (3D) objects. The technology has been in existence for 20 or 30 years and is undergoing ...

Material engineers have created a patent-pending process to develop ultrahigh-strength aluminum alloys that are suitable for additive manufacturing because of their plastic deformability. They have ...

(Nanowerk News) Next-generation technology requires next-generation materials that can be tailored to exact mission requirements. Additive manufacturing, or 3D printing, has already revolutionized ...

Purdue University material engineers have created a patent-pending process to develop ultrahigh-strength aluminum alloys that are suitable for additive manufacturing because of their plastic ...
