Getting it right the first time isn’t just a good idea; in manufacturing it’s good business. A few attempts at creation can hold up production, driving up costs and time while tying up expensive ...

This article is going to look at how that whole idea got started and what the very first technology used in additive ...

Additive manufacturing—producing parts layer by layer direct from digital models—is moving into aerospace. Three-dimensional printing is widely used for rapid prototyping with polymer materials, but ...

In the beginning of the twentieth century, “manufacturing” brought to mind burly men shaping metal with forges or stamping presses; in the twenty-first century, that mental image may become workers ...

Additive Manufacturing (AM) is a term used to identify the manufacturing processes performed by 3D printing through layer-by-layer construction. In addition to avoiding the generation of waste through ...

Additive manufacturing (AM) has witnessed tremendous growth as its focus has shifted from prototypes to end-use functional parts. However, the industry has a set of critical production challenges, ...

GE's bought up a couple of additive manufacturing firms as part of its evolution into "the premier digital industrial company", an investment that could save it $5 billion internally, let alone tap ...

Oak Ridge National Laboratory's robotic prosthesis looks like something out of medieval times—a hand clad in chain mail more appropriate for wielding a broadsword than a mug of coffee. Both the ...
