3D-printing metal in the deposition style carries many names, such as laser-engineered shaping, directed energy deposition, and laser metal deposition. Because these all represent the same concept, ...

Researchers have improved flaw detection to increase confidence in metal parts that are 3D-printed using laser powder bed fusion. Researchers at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National ...

Toray creates spherical polyamide powder that delivers smoother surfaces and stronger parts for industrial 3D printing ...

3D printing allows the physical manufacturing of some unique geometries that are simply not possible with other processes. If you design around these strengths, it is possible to create parts that ...

Stratasys outlined new technology called Selective Absorption Fusion that will be used for its powder-bed 3D printers, which will be used to expand the company's additive manufacturing systems. In ...

The laser selectively melds predetermined areas of a powder bed by scanning cross-sections derived from a 3D digital representation of the needed part. Following the scanning of each cross-section, a ...
