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.

A new Frontiers in Materials research collection reveals how machine learning, melt pool physics, auxetic metamaterials, and ...

Additive manufacturing hasn't proved, at scale, that it can produce parts that meet requirements, pass certification and still make economic sense.

Additive manufacturing offers a new way to make objects. First, let’s distinguish the dominant manufacturing technologies. Machining, in the form of milling, cutting, drilling, stamping, and so on ...

In the evolving field of additive manufacturing, several innovations have emerged that have helped to drive the industry forward. From the development of advanced and multi-materials for 3D printing ...

Researchers have shown that a machine learning model trained on casting data, guided by chromium and nickel equivalents, can ...

There are those that say generative design ensures the best product design possible. Engineers enter the specifications a product needs to meet, and the tool responds by creating a number of potential ...

Bicycle design and production, like pretty much everything else these days, is being impacted by new technologies. Digital design tools, robotics, additive manufacturing (3D printing), and material ...

The public’s perception of additive manufacturing has been highly polarized over the past decade. In recent years, however, the hype has waned, the pessimism eased, and the industrial outlook shifted ...

Challenges when dealing with high-power-density designs. Utilizing cloud manufacturing platforms (CMPs). Power packaging using additive manufacturing. Today’s designers are now more equipped to ...
