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 ...

Understanding which AM processes are achieving flight qualification, and why, requires engineers to think simultaneously about process physics, material microstructure, ...

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 (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 ...

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 ...

RTX’s Pratt & Whitney has joined forces with GKN Aerospace to develop a large ...

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 ...

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 ...

The Fourth Industrial Revolution is the term coined by Klaus Schwab, the founder and executive chairman of the World Economic Forum, to describe the fourth major industrial era since the first ...

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 ...

The AM process begins with a digital design, usually created using computer-aided design (CAD) software, which is then sliced into thin layers. Depending on the specific AM technique, material may be ...
