(Nanowerk News) University of Wisconsin-Madison engineers have found a way to simultaneously mitigate three types of defects in parts produced using a prominent additive manufacturing technique called ...

SAN FRANCISCO — A South Korean researcher has described a new method for detecting extremely low levels of metal particles that often turn into chip defects. Excellent methods of detection exist, ...

Using X-ray beams and machine learning for detecting structural defects, such as pore formation, can help prevent failure of metal 3D-printed parts. Systematic computer-based material design uses ...

Designing the right scan path, and laser intensity along that path, is key to turning out quality metal parts using laser powder-bed fusion. The most popular 3D printing process for making metal parts ...
