Here is another video illustrating that an important “hook” for additive manufacturing is the promise to develop and apply new materials. Elementum 3D hung dumbbells from competing hooks to demonstrate the superior strength of its lightweight aluminum metal matrix composite. The company performs additive material development on a machine from EOS, applying a blend of aluminum and ceramic powder to engineer the new material seen here.
