Metal 3D printing, or additive manufacturing (AM), is an advanced manufacturing method that opens up new possibilities for designing objects with optimized geometries and minimized weight using far less material and energy.
Additive-manufacturing and 3D-printing solutions provider Stratasys got a helping hand from industry giants Boeing, Ford and Siemens when developing its latest 3D printing technologies.
Preco Inc. received a $1.78 million order for a high-powered, multi-laser development and manufacturing cell from Brazil’s Senai Institute of Laser Innovation.
Siemens acquired a majority stake (85%) in Materials Solutions Ltd., a U.K.-based pioneer in the use of selective laser melting (SLM) technology for the manufacture of high-performance metal parts.
Sciaky Inc. supplied an electron-beam additive manufacturing (EBAM™) system to EWI, an Ohio-based engineering and technology organization dedicated to developing, testing and implementing advanced manufacturing technologies for industry.
Carnegie Mellon University’s NextManufacturing Center in Pittsburgh, Pa., created a consortium to bring together major companies and organizations in industry, the nonprofit sector and government to unlock the potential of 3D printing in the U.S.
GKN Hoeganaes agreed to enter into a joint-venture agreement with TLS Technik to manufacture titanium powders in North America for additive-manufacturing (AM) applications.
One type of powdered-metal 3D printing is called binder-jet printing, in which thin layers of metallic particles are bound together in a computer-generated pattern using a low-temperature liquid binder jetted from a print head, similar to an ink-jet printer.
