Additive Manufacturing
New tech solves longstanding challenges for self-healing materials
The latest technology resolves two longstanding challenges for self-healing materials and extend the lifespan of structural components.
3D-printed alloys form nanostructures
Researchers achieved the 3D-printed, nanostructured high-entropy alloys that display both high strength and ductility for the first time.
Additive manufacturing impacts sustainability, innovation
Additive manufacturing (AM) is being utilized to drive the future of sustainable technology forward and encouraging innovation. Six indirect impacts and two direct impacts are highlighted.
Programmable materials that sense movements developed
A method for 3D printing materials with tunable mechanical properties that sense how they are moving and interacting with the environment has been developed.
Inks for 3D-printable wearable bioelectronics designed
A class of biomaterial ink has been developed that mimics native characteristics of highly conductive human tissue, much like skin, which are essential for the ink to be used in 3D printing.
Researchers 3D-print strong, ductile nanostructured alloy
Researchers have 3D printed a dual-phase, nanostructured high-entropy alloy that exceeds the strength and ductility of other additively manufactured materials.
Researchers develop faster, more precise 3D-printing process
Multiplexed fused filament fabrication (MF3) is a faster, more precise 3D-printing technique developed by Rutgers University researchers.
Motion control helps keep 3D printing equipment in line
The success of additive manufacturing technology is often measured by the efficiency and reliability of the controls.
