3D Printing Aluminum Alloys

For metallic 3D printing, the selective laser melting (SLM) method is typically used to produce Al alloys. AlSi10Mg alloys made with SLM technology, however, must set up different post-printing treatments.

4D Printing a Reality?

Hard to believe, but researchers have developed 4D printing for ceramics. 4D printing combines traditional 3D printing with the element of time as the fourth dimension, where the printed object can re-shape or self-assemble itself over time with external stimuli, such as mechanical force or a magnetic field.

Detecting 3D-Printing Defects

Optical 3D scanners, CT scanners, high-resolution X-ray microscopes and coordinate measuring machines (CMMs) can detect 3D-printing defects and downstream processing problems.

BMW Awarded for 3D-Printed Roof Bracket

BMW Group’s 3D-printed convertible roof bracket won a 2018 Altair Enlighten Award within the Module category.
