Understanding Lithium Batteries for Electric Vehicle Applications -- a new EWI guide Lithium-ion batteries are costly, but they dominate in electric vehicle applications because they can achieve high operating voltages and very high energy efficiency while also maintaining a small size and footprint. With so much interest in Li batteries comes more R&D geared to...

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...
