Magnum Venus Products (MVP), in partnership with Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), recently celebrated the installation of the first commercially available medium/large-scale thermoset 3D printer at the Department of Energy’s Manufacturing
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.
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.
Additive manufacturing has many advantages over traditional manufacturing. It creates parts with essentially no waste. It produces complex designs as easily as simple ones.
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.
Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) will collaborate with industrial partners on two projects under the latest round of awards by the U.S.
Brian Post came to Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) looking for a way to combine his interests in controls engineering and robotics, and he found it at the Manufacturing Demonstration Facility (MDF), where he and his colleagues are revolutionizing 3
The personal satisfaction of helping bright young people see a future for themselves isn’t the only thing driving mentors of the FIRST Robotics program at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL).
A partnership of the US Department of Energy’s (DOE) Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), Sandia National Laboratories, and private company TPI Composites recently demonstrated the significant time and cost
