Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) researchers are answering the need for heat-tolerant materials by developing a new way to strengthen metals using oxide particles.
3D printing, also known as additive manufacturing, is thought to be a completely disruptive technology that will upend traditional processes in the world of manufacturing.
Although the aerospace and medical-device industries were the first players to adopt the process, all industries that work with metals, including automotive, are now beginning to realize the promise of 3D printing, also known as additive manufacturing (AM).
Although metal 3D printing (also known as additive manufacturing) is a fairly new technology, its history is deeply rooted in the field of metallurgy and materials science.
3D printing is quickly catching fire in the world of manufacturing. Although the aerospace and medical-device industries were the first players to adopt the process, all industries that work with metals are now beginning to realize the promise of 3D printing.
