Laser powder bed fusion is likely the most widely used metal additive manufacturing process. Here is how it works, including benefits, issues to consider and applications for this 3D printing technology.

Bavarian auto industry and TU Munich research how to reduce molding costs by combining continuous fiber and 3D printed composites.

The large component was successfully produced within a limited build envelope thanks to connection features designed into the pieces. Advances in powder-bed build size will permit greater efficiency in producing parts such as these.

Burgmaier introduces case-hardening steel 16MnCr5 to additive manufacturing and develops a hybrid additive manufacturing process using the SLM280.

Transportation is experiencing unprecedented pressure to move people and goods farther, faster, cheaper and more sustainably. The Barnes Global Advisors and Wabtec discuss the role that additive manufacturing is playing for rail transportation, and how 3D printed parts such as manifolds are qualified for this industry.

Design is the “value multiplier” when it comes to additive manufacturing.

How much is weight savings worth to you? Additive is being embraced in applications where the answer to that question is high.

“We don’t ask for DFAM first,” says CEO. A new Boston-area additive manufacturing factory will deliver high-volume metal part production at unit costs beating conventional processes.

A diesel engine support, connecting the powertrain and the vehicle chassis, is optimized for weight savings, performance and manufacturing cost reduction as a result of redesigning the part for AM.

Selected teams will receive funding from the Air Force Research Laboratory to help fill critical gaps in additive manufacturing technology.
