Additive Manufacturing (Page 7)

Additive manufacturing (AM) continues to grow in popularity as manufacturing firms develop better understanding of how to extract value from the expensive process. Designers and engineers continue to add complexity into components to tip the cost/value balance in favor of AM, as well as to gain additional benefits from light weighting, reduced assembly efforts, better...

EWI has considerable experience developing and modifying ICME approaches for manufacturing applications. These predictive tools can be used to improve process parameter selection, predict microstructure and properties, and more. Alex Kitt, EWI Director of Data Science, has written AM Applications of Analytical Methods to Predict Thermal Excursions for Continuous Joining Processes, to present a case...

Resistance-based sintering is a highly effective method for consolidating metal powders that combines the use of axial pressure with a flowing, high-intensity current without the need for atmospheric chambers. EWI began developing this technique a couple of years ago in an effort to replace spark plasma sintering. Our team made use of its considerable resistance...
