Broad success of ExOne’s patented Triple Advanced Compaction Technology (ACT), combined with a market-leading portfolio of binders, is enabling binder jetting of a wider range of powder types with a ...

Researchers have improved flaw detection to increase confidence in metal parts that are 3D-printed using laser powder bed fusion. Researchers at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National ...

Powder 3D printing, specifically Selective Laser Sintering (SLS), offers several advantages over traditional filament and resin 3D printing methods. In the world of 3D printing, powder-based ...

Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) is an additive manufacturing method commonly used for rapid prototyping and low-volume production of functional parts. During SLS, a laser beam is used to sinter ...

Laser powder bed fusion, a 3D-printing technique, offers potential in the manufacturing industry, particularly when fabricating nickel-titanium shape memory alloys with complex geometries. Although ...

Freeform has developed a 3D printing system called GoldenEye that is specifically optimized for metalworking. According to ...

Students at ETH Zurich have developed a laser power bed fusion machine that follows a circular tool path to print round components, thereby being able to process multiple metals at once. The system ...

While 3D printing has mostly involved plastic so far, future materials, including one harder than steel, could make a huge ...

We would all like to 3D print in metal, but for now, the equipment to do that is out of reach for most of us. Instead of dealing with powder printers or metal-bearing polymers, [Robert] has a simple ...

The laser selectively melds predetermined areas of a powder bed by scanning cross-sections derived from a 3D digital representation of the needed part. Following the scanning of each cross-section, a ...
