A two-in-one technology provides 3D images of structural defects, such as those that can develop in aircraft and power plants. A new system, developed by Tohoku University researchers in Japan in ...

Understanding how dislocations (line defects in the crystal structure) occur when 3D-printing metals has been unclear to materials scientists. Understanding when and how dislocations form in ...

M n+1 AX n phase materials, commonly shortened to MAX, have garnered a lot of attention recently, mainly due to their outstanding mechanical, corrosion, stability and conductivity properties. From ...

(Nanowerk News) An international research collaboration, including a group from Cornell Engineering, has applied a new X-ray-based reconstruction technique to observe, for the first time, topological ...

Engineers have found a way to simultaneously mitigate three types of defects in parts produced using a prominent additive manufacturing technique called laser powder bed fusion. University of ...

Argonne scientists who worked on a project to avoid defects in 3D-printed parts pose in front of a device that simulates laser powder bed fusion in a commercial 3D printer. Pictured, clockwise from ...

A growing number of academic and industrial research groups regard the integration of artificial intelligence-based algorithms into the 3D printing process as a promising approach to improve the ...
