Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM): While not strictly laser-based, it’s a related directed energy process that uses an ...

Precision Additive today announced that its first metal additive manufacturing system, the PA-300, is officially launched. The laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) printer is designed to produce ...

The last decade has witnessed a huge development in additive manufacturing (AM) or 3D printing when compared with its counterpart, subtractive manufacturing. AM enables rapid prototyping, ease of ...

Manufacturers rely on tungsten carbide–cobalt for tools that must survive extreme wear. Yet shaping ...

Researchers have resolved a long-standing debate surrounding laser additive manufacturing processes with a pioneering approach to defect detection. Researchers from EPFL have resolved a long-standing ...

image: . A graphical summary showing: (a) used raw organic and inorganic precursors, their molar ratios in synthesis; (b) laser photopolymerization and high-temperature calcination technology; (c) ...

Researchers at Hiroshima University have developed a new 3D printing method for tungsten carbide–cobalt (WC–Co) that prevents cracking and damage that often occur with laser powder bed and other ...

Engineers have succeeded in fabricating a nickel single crystal with only a very few crystalline defects by irradiating nickel powder with a large-radius, flat-top laser beam (i.e., a laser beam whose ...

SSAB has announced that it is introducing metal Additive Manufacturing at sites in Borlänge and Raahe, in collaboration with LaserTool.

Researchers demonstrated that additive manufacturing can produce defect-free WC–Co cemented carbides with industrial-level hardness, reducing material waste and cost. <br /> ...
