Additive Manufacturing (AM), also known as three-dimensional printing, encompasses a suite of digitally driven processes that build complex parts layer by layer directly from computer models. By ...

Historically, the evolution of aerospace materials processing has been driven by the unyielding quest for lighter, stronger, and more durable materials. From the initial days of wood and fabric in ...

Additive manufacturing has a distinct materials advantage when it comes to producing a component or part from either a polymer or metal printer versus traditional subtractive manufacturing techniques.

Additive manufacturing continues to be a growing part of the manufacturing landscape. Industry leaders and innovators are redefining the manufacturing landscape through 3D printing and related ...

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 ...

For much of human history, the process of manufacturing parts involved subtraction. Unformed materials underwent cutting to remove sections to achieve the intended results. However, in the 1970s, a ...

Additive manufacturing (or 3D printing) performs well in prototyping, where speed and flexibility outweigh cost and throughput constraints. Problems begin when those same designs move into production.

Lockheed Martin's Additive Design and Manufacturing Center in Sunnyvale, Calif. where the company focuses on technology that supports its military, commercial and civil space portfolio, became the ...

Welding products expert Lincoln Electric Co. is moving into additive manufacturing. But the way Lincoln Electric does additive manufacturing makes use of its expertise. Essentially, the company is ...

EADS and GKN have teamed up at their Filton research centres to drive a radical new manufacturing technology to the aerospace market. So-called additive layer manufacturing (ALM), a technique for ...
