Additive Manufacturing (Page 8)

For certain manufacturing applications, making selected components out of plastic via 3D printing has great advantages. A significant disadvantage for high-volume production, however, is the slow extrusion rates of polymer materials. EWI has developed a new technique using ultrasonic power that can increase the speed of polymer extrusion. This method is discussed in Speeding Up...

The Additive Manufacturing Consortium (AMC), operated by EWI, is pleased to announce its 2023 research portfolio, which includes three new projects and two continuations: High-strength Aluminum Testing and Characterization of Commercially Available Materials (new) – This project will conduct builds and compare results from three commercially available materials in the 7XXX series family. Materials from...

A few weeks ago, EWI associates -- past and present -- were delighted to attend the grand opening of Fabrisonic LLC’s new facility just outside of Columbus. The independent company, founded and incubated at EWI, has moved into a new, 30,000-square-foot building in Lewis Center, OH, where it will have ample room for its expanding...
