Researchers Gain Understanding of Pore Evolution in DED
A recent collaboration between Queen Mary University of London, University College London (UCL), Rolls-Royce, and international researchers has illuminated the mysterious processes behind pore formation in Directed Energy Deposition (DED). Published in Nature Communications, their study identifies five distinct mechanisms contributing to pore behavior, including gas bubble migration, surface tension effects, and solidification front entrapment.

Researchers develop new 3D printed lattice metamaterial, 50% stronger than leading aerospace alloys
Researchers from RMIT University have 3D printed a titanium structure that is 50% stronger than the strongest alloy with similar density developed for aerospace applications. The high-strength structure is a “metamaterial,” an artificial, cellular material specially engineered to possess unique mechanical and multifunctional properties. The RMIT team’s artificial, multi-topology metamaterial was created using the common […]
3DXTECH Launches “Pellet to Part” Program for 3D Printing Materials – 3DPrint.com
Always looking to shake up the material extrusion segment of 3D printing, Michigan-based 3DXTECH has introduced a novel initiative named the “Pellet to Part” program. To further drive collaboration with original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), the program invites OEMs to work with 3DXTECH on the development of unique, application-specific materials. By working in close partnership with […]

You Won’t Believe These Dolls are 3D Printed
MatterHackers’ November Hacker of the Month, Aida Legrand, uses the BCN3D Sigma printer to create incredible 3D printed dolls. Posted on November 3, 2016 by Rhonda Grandy Aida Legrand, MatterHackers’ November Hacker of the Month, has only been 3D printing since January of 2016. Legrand’s husband bought the self proclaimed “technical geek” and software engineer […]
MIT engineers 3D print electromagnets with modified multi-material 3D printer
A team of researchers at the Massachusetts Institute for Technology (MIT) have modified a multi-material 3D printer so it can produce three-dimensional solenoids in one step by layering ultrathin coils of three different materials. The system prints a U.S. quarter-sized solenoid as a spiral by layering material around the soft magnetic core, with thicker conductive […]
