A group of UK-based researchers has found a way to create more damage-tolerant materials by mimicking the more irregular microscale crystalline structure in strong metal alloys.
Researchers at the Department of Energy have used lignin, a byproduct of the biorefinery industry, as part of a new composite material that’s well-suited for 3D printing processes.
Researchers at the University of Southern California Viterbi School of Engineering have created 3D-printed rubber materials that fix themselves without human intervention.
Fusion Factory offers the ability for the quick changing of multiple materials, including special materials with complicated handling requirements such as refractory metals, ceramics and magnetic materials.
Researchers have developed a light-driven 3D-printing method that speeds up printing 100 times, making it more viable for smaller manufacturing jobs with shorter deadlines.
