In the early 1980s, machine tool builders added milling spindles to turning machines, and Multi-Tasking was born. Within a decade, the concept quickly progressed to machines that not only combined ...

The dynamics of additive manufacturing encompass a complex interplay of heat transfer, fluid flow, phase change and solidification that govern the development of microstructure, mechanical properties ...

Integrex i-400AM is a turnkey installation that, according to Mazak, is particularly well suited to small-lot production of difficult-to-cut materials, such as aerospace alloys, high-hardness ...

The method combines 3D printing and electroforming to produce complex, leak-free hot isostatic pressing (HIP) cans, sealed ...

Additive manufacturing process modelling and evaluation encompasses a suite of computational and experimental strategies aimed at predicting, controlling and verifying the layer-by-layer fabrication ...

Fraunhofer Institute for Laser Technolog (ILT), Aachen, Germany, is tackling the challenge of 3D printing large components economically by using a new process called Hybrid AM that combines ...

The additive manufacturing world’s big news in 2023—the merger between Stratasys, the No.1 additive company (based on 2022 revenues) and Desktop Metal, the No. 4 company—turned into a nothingburger ...

This approach could make it easier to produce these components in the U.S., reducing supply chain challenges for advanced ...

Additive Willmann expects the software to strengthen traceability and reduce manual effort, while increasing customer ...

Additive and subtractive manufacturing are two different, yet related, approaches to creating parts and finished products. Both types of manufacturing can be quite valuable to companies as part of the ...

Additive manufacturing is the process of creating an object by building it one layer at a time. It is the opposite of subtractive manufacturing, in which an object is created by cutting away at a ...
