Scientists have found a promising new way to manufacture one of industry’s toughest materials—tungsten carbide–cobalt—using advanced 3D printing. Normally, producing this ultra-hard material requires ...

While working on a project that involved super-thin prints, [Julius Curt] came up with selective ironing, a way to put designs on the top surface of a print without adding any height. For those ...

The key opportunities in the selective laser melting market for mining include its ability to enhance part durability, reduce ...

A new study tests a laser powder bed fused milling cutter with conformal cooling, a design aimed at cooler, longer running ...

You may think your spouse’s "selective hearing" is a choice — but science argues otherwise. The phenomenon of selective hearing is more than choosing when or when not to listen, according to a recent ...

A team of researchers from University of California and the University of Kassel in Germany has developed a way to halt the ultra-fast melting of silicon using well-timed lasers. This new technique ...

A team of physicists has discovered a method to temporarily halt the ultrafast melting of silicon using a carefully timed sequence of laser pulses. This finding opens new possibilities for controlling ...

Researchers observed 2D melting in real time by tracking skyrmions, revealing how ordered magnetic lattices become disordered at the microscopic level. (Nanowerk News) What occurs during the melting ...

Snapshots of the skyrmion lattice during the melting: an ordered skyrmion lattice on the left while the lattice structure has vanished on the right. What occurs during the melting process in ...

Additive manufacturing (AM) technology depends on the implemented selective laser melting (SLM) process. A good comprehension of its parameters is required to perform an efficient SLM process.
