The science of metal additive manufacturing (AM) today is focused on the quest for born-qualified parts: components that can roll off the print bed and be ready for direct use, including in critical structures like vehicles, airplanes and power plants.
The next cohort of Innovation Crossroads fellows at Oak Ridge National Laboratory will receive support from the U.S. Department of Energy’s Advanced Manufacturing Office and the Tennessee Valley Authority.
Growing up, Omer Onar dreamed of being an astronaut and working in space science. Today he’s involved in the science of space—in this case the gap between a magnetic coil and an electric vehicle being charged with wireless technology.
A thermoplastic-based composite feedstock known as carbon fiber–ABS is the workhorse of polymer-composite 3D printing at DOE’s Manufacturing Demonstration Facility, located at ORNL.
Ryan Kerekes has been fascinated by how data can have real-world impacts since he first started programming in elementary school.
Additive manufacturing has many advantages over traditional manufacturing. It creates parts with essentially no waste. It produces complex designs as easily as simple ones.
On the surface, additively manufactured parts may seem like just a series of really small welds, but the minute details of exactly how you print a component play a significant role in its performance.
It’s been more than three decades since inventor Chuck Hull created stereolithography, a process that produces 3D objects by hardening a liquid resin with an ultraviolet laser beam.
Tucked away on about five acres outside of Birmingham, Alabama, sits innovative technology that could change the way homeowners manage energy consumption.
