For decades there have been five basic types of manufacturing processes. They are distinct. Great design engineers understand the nuances of these processes and tailor their designs accordingly. There ...

Dr. Bourell began his presentation by defining additive manufacturing as the ability to print three-dimensional (3D) objects. The technology has been in existence for 20 or 30 years and is undergoing ...

This article will describe three types, or ways, of manufacturing a product; additive, subtractive, and forming. What is Additive Manufacturing? Think of an artist painting a bear on a canvas. What is ...

Stereolithography remains at the forefront of additive manufacturing, enabling the creation of intricate three-dimensional objects through the selective photopolymerisation of liquid resin. By ...

AM operators are currently using SEM as a characterization tool for finished products. SEM offers high spatial resolution so the surface quality of the parts that are made using AM processes can be ...

If you’ve avoided thinking about additive manufacturing for fear of fixing what isn’t broken, you’re not wrong. Additive opens up an entirely new realm of possibilities and, depending on your point of ...

In 2017, additive manufacturing continued to push companies in new directions. From aerospace and medical to automotive and energy, additive manufacturing took center stage as companies sought to ...

3D printer manufacturer EOS and Hyperganic, an engineering design software specialist, additively manufactured a rocket engine. The engine designed with the help of artificial intelligence was printed ...

Siemens announced a new Additive Manufacturing (AM) Process Simulation solution for predicting distortion during 3D printing. The product is fully integrated into Siemens’ end-to-end Additive ...

The arrival of Additive Manufacturing (AM) as a valid alternative to the original five manufacturing processes is really going to shake up the factory. Within 3 to 5 years, engineering and ...
