With additive manufacturing, used to build this heat exchanger, one key is to do prototyping for the part and then see whether additive or subtractive manufacturing is the better choice of manufacture ...

Additive manufacturing, the process of building 3D objects by adding layer upon layer of material, is certainly here to stay. According to a recent article by Advanced Manufacturing, “not long ago the ...

Injection molding has long been the workhorse for producing plastic parts. It’s economical for high volumes and offers reliable and repeatable methods for most designs. Additive manufacturing, also ...

Over the last five years, two main advances have helped additive manufacturing (AM) evolve from a prototyping technology to a viable production method. The first is in material development, where ...

Engineers have been taking a novel approach to the development of engineering components produced using additive manufacturing. Working in collaboration with colleagues from Imperial College London, ...

Historically, the evolution of aerospace materials processing has been driven by the unyielding quest for lighter, stronger, and more durable materials. From the initial days of wood and fabric in ...

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 isn’t new. But as technologies have developed, users have been analyzing how additive compares to traditional processes, explains Sherri Monroe, executive director of the ...

Charles R. Goulding and Preeti Sulibhavi examine the historical prestige of platinum and explain why additive manufacturing is accelerating its return to the jewelry spotlight.
