Discussions regarding additive manufacturing (AM) metal parts in aerospace tend to focus around the 3D-printing machine as an end product. However, the certification in aerospace propulsion industry ...

Additive manufacturing is the process of creating an object by building it one layer at a time. It is the opposite of subtractive manufacturing, in which an object is created by cutting away at a ...

Additive manufacturing (AM) encompasses a suite of technologies that build parts layer by layer from digital models, offering unparalleled design freedom, material efficiency and customisation. The ...

Additive manufacturing has matured into a vital technology for producing complex metal and polymer components in aerospace, medical and automotive industries. Ensuring part quality and repeatability ...

Prof Dermot Brabazon explains additive manufacturing, and how data processing and M2M communication could revolutionise the way complex high-performance products are made. There are many ...

“Additive manufacturing” describes a range of technologies that convert CAD models into 3D forms, including stereolithography and fused deposition modeling, for polymers and other non-metallic ...

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 ...

If you imagine how a bee might build a honeycomb, then you understand the basic premise for how additive manufacturing works, according to Robert Willig, CEO of the Society of Manufacturing Engineers, ...

“Quality, transparency, relevancy, and accessibility are some of the criteria that have been used to develop Wohlers Report 2025,” said Mahdi Jamshid, Ph.D., director of market intelligence at Wohlers ...

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.
