Aircraft and composites manufacturers continue to explore new ways to leverage additive manufacturing (AM) to cut costs, reduce weight, and speed part production. One of the keys to broader adoption: ...

For metallic alloys in aerospace, machine learning can make the development of additive manufacturing (AM) processes both faster and cheaper. In collaboration with the University of Sheffield Advanced ...

CEAD builds and implements large scale hybrid 3D printers, combining multiple manufacturing processes in one cell. The Flexbot can be used to 3D print a part to near net shape and to then post-process ...

Manufacturers of electric vehicles (EVs) seem to be adopting additive manufacturing (AM) more readily into production than the conventional automotive industry and other transportation segments have.

The potential for 3D printing and additive manufacturing is so profound that it could disrupt manufacturing as we know it. The most obvious change will be in local production, which could replace or ...

Using neutrons to see the additive manufacturing process at the atomic level, scientists have shown that they can measure strain in a material as it evolves and track how atoms move in response to ...

Additive manufacturing — also known as 3D printing — promises to have a significant impact on nuclear security and nonproliferation in the 21st century. Advances in the manufacturing sector will ...

Additive manufacturing enthusiasts, about 10 years ago, described a dream where 3D printing rose from rapid prototyping and design into a large-scale production technology. In 2024, financial ...

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, ...

GKN Aerospace will later this year produce what it describes as the first load-bearing component to be made through additive manufacturing, as the UK-headquartered company eyes a rapid expansion of ...
