A rocket thruster demonstrator with integrated internal cooling channels was 3D printed at the end of 2022, using a newly developed copper alloy, GRCop-42, in a move that underscores additive manufacturing’s ability to accelerate innovation. The demonstrator uses a...
The year has flown by in a heartbeat, and, for us, it’s the most eventful one on record. As we edge ever so close to the end of 2022, we cast a glance back and take stock of the most significant events and achievements. It's been an extraordinary year in terms of...
Heat exchangers are ideal for showcasing the optimisation capabilities of additive manufacturing (AM), but they’re complicated to fabricate because of the multiple software solutions involved and data conversion issues. In a bid to improve their AM workflow, a US...
More lasers mean more power, higher build rates and lower costs per part. At least that is the main expectation for the new generation of laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) machines with two, three, four, or even twelve lasers. But the massive energy increase does have...
Pump impellers are the rotating component of centrifugal pumps that accelerates fluid outward from the center of rotation. From the energy to the marine industry, they’re widely used and often customised for different applications. This is why manufacturers usually...
It’s easy to fall prey to the appeal of a one-size-fits-all approach. In additive manufacturing (AM), we see this in the unabating production of hardware and software that handle a single geometry representation or file format. This complacence has led to many...
Whether you’ve been a customer, partner, or a follower of ours on social media, you may have noticed some changes in the past months. Some of you might know that Oqton was acquired in November 2021 by 3D Systems – a move which ushered in exciting developments. Our top...
Pennsylvania State University (Penn State), one of the leading academic institutes in research and education for additive manufacturing (AM) technologies, offers a unique Master of Engineering in Additive Manufacturing and Design (MEng AMD) program. One of the things...
With almost 30 years of additive manufacturing (AM) research and as the third largest contributor to AM, the Catholic University of Leuven (KU Leuven) in Belgium is one of the leading AM academic institutes in the world. The KU Leuven AM research group is led by...
Oregon-based Metal Technology (MTI) has over 40 years of experience in metal manufacturing and has garnered a strong reputation among its clients due to its wide range of capabilities and high quality outputs. MTI serves a variety of customers in aerospace, defense,...
When Emerson launched metal additive manufacturing (AM) in 2013, the software tools available were spread across multiple packages, ultimately leading the company to need 10 different programs to go from design to print-ready file. As the company’s metal AM division...
