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 ...

Additive manufacturing has long been heralded for its flexibility as a production method. More recently, additive’s ability to safeguard against global supply chain challenges has helped accelerate ...

In fall 2018, The Fabricator launched a sister magazine called The Additive Report, dedicated to covering the additive ...

Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) have developed a method that uses additive manufacturing (AM)—3D printing—to fabricate ...

If you imagine how a bee might build a honeycomb, then you understand the basic premise for how additive manufacturing works, according to Robert Willig, CEO of the Society of Manufacturing Engineers, ...

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.

Additive manufacturing (AM), commonly known as 3D printing, builds components layer by layer from digital designs. Process optimization in AM seeks to enhance part quality, reduce build time and ...

Siemens announced a new Additive Manufacturing (AM) Process Simulation solution for predicting distortion during 3D printing. The product is fully integrated into Siemens’ end-to-end Additive ...

This workshop will explore opportunities to use statistical and data-driven methods for additive manufacturing qualification, including approaches that enhance dimensional accuracy and recent advances ...

When you board an airplane, put your bags in the overhead compartment, sit down in your seat and buckle your seatbelt, you probably do not pay much attention to the hinges, brackets, seat spreaders, ...

As drones move from experimental platforms to mission-critical aerospace systems, the real challenge isn’t autonomy or software. It’s mass-production. To meet unprecedented demand, drone manufacturers ...
