Additive Manufacturing (Page 12)

Errors that occur during large-scale additive manufacturing (AM) builds can be prohibitively expensive for manufacturers. Current in-line inspection methods are inefficient, but damaged and distorted end products waste too much time, material, and money. How can in-process inspection be optimized to improve productivity and ensure quality? EWI investigated this question using the laser-blown powder DED...

EWI, a leader in technology development for the manufacturing industry, is pleased to present two free virtual seminars in August related to additive manufacturing innovation. The webinar topics are based on recent research investigations conducted by EWI engineers: Choosing the Right Tests to Qualify Your Additive Manufacturing Materials and Processes will be presented on Wednesday,...

Laser powder bed fusion is being used with increasing frequency in manufacturing operations. Some L-PBF materials, however, are still prone to stress and cracking. EWI has created a new “laser stirring” technique that improves results in some of the most common L-PBF alloys including SS316L, Ti-6Al-4V, and Ni718. The results are discussed in Effect of...
