German metal 3D printer manufacturer SLM Solutions has worked with the aerospace division of multinational manufacturing conglomerate Honeywell, to produce a parameter set for 3D printing aluminum F357. Developed as part of the companies’ ongoing partnership, the material reportedly provides 3D printed parts with considerably improved properties compared to those created through die-casting methods. In […]
Researchers use 3D printing to assemble nanoparticles into robust macroscale structures
Researchers from the Technical University of Hamburg (TUHH) and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), in collaboration with the and Bremen University, have used 3D printing to assemble nanoparticles into strong macrostructures. The research team developed a direct-write self-assembly technique, which was summarily reinforced with cross-linking, that allowed for the structural strength of microstructures to be […]
HRL, nTopology, and Morf3D explore advanced design and materials with 7A77 – the world’s strongest additive aluminum
Taking advantage of additive manufacturing requires exceptional design and production, but only if the materials used can meet the desired expectations during end use. Though metal 3D printing’s use in production has grown in recent years, there are still many applications where low strength AlSiMg dominates the market. With the launch of Aluminum 7A77.60L powder, […]
