3D printers are exact and are a fantastic way to print complicated parts that couldn't be built otherwise. However, sometimes 3D printers make mistakes by extruding too much material, too little, or ...

(Nanowerk News) Structural defects that form during additive manufacturing, also known as 3D printing, are a barrier to some applications of this technology. Researchers used diagnostic tools and ...

A growing number of academic and industrial research groups regard the integration of artificial intelligence-based algorithms into the 3D printing process as a promising approach to improve the ...

Small defects in 3D printed metal parts limit their performance and are roadblocks preventing the technology from being more widely used. Researchers at Argonne National Laboratory theorized that the ...

A new CoNi-based superalloy shows exceptional strength and ductility in 3D printing, and could lead to high-temperature parts with fewer defects. In a recent Materials & Design publication, ...
