A new dual laser Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF) concept proposes printing overhangs with micro spot precision while the bulk ...

A simple yet effective benchmark geometry was designed to invoke different thermal histories in different regions of the build. The process is monitored using an IR camera and thermocouples to verify ...

Researchers have improved flaw detection to increase confidence in metal parts that are 3D-printed using laser powder bed fusion. Researchers at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National ...

To enhance the printing consistency and reduce the fabrication cost, the recent progress on powder characterization, preparation, and reuse is systematically reviewed. Scientists from Nanjing ...

ACMI has acquired the AMCM M 8K, the first large-format laser powder bed fusion system for aerospace production.

A recent study in Scientific Reports explored how volume energy density (VED) during laser powder bed fusion (L-PBF) affects the microstructure and corrosion resistance of NiTi alloys (Nitinol). The ...

MKS Instruments has introduced the Ophir BeamWatch AM-3, a beam analysis system developed for laser-based metal AM ...

When it comes to additive manufacturing, advanced simulation techniques have become essential, particularly for processes like laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) and directed energy deposition (DED). In ...
