The fields of microfluidics and additive manufacturing have converged to transform the design and fabrication of microscale devices. Microfluidics, which involves the precise manipulation of minute ...

Aerospace manufacturing relies on the successful fusion of additive manufacturing techniques with CNC machining.

Prototype parts are 3D printed in the new Advanced and Additive Manufacturing Center of Excellence to trouble shoot the machines at Rock Island Arsenal - Joint Manufacturing and Technology Center, ...

3D printing techniques enable quieter, higher performing designs for final control elements. Control valve noise is a problem in many plant environments. The sound is created by very high pressure ...

CEAD builds and implements large scale hybrid 3D printers, combining multiple manufacturing processes in one cell. The Flexbot can be used to 3D print a part to near net shape and to then post-process ...

Nickel–titanium (Nitinol) alloys are valued for their superelasticity and shape‑memory behaviour, but their compatibility ...

Over the past decade, 3-D printing has transformed from a hobbyist or prototyping tool into an industrial-grade production process, referred to as additive manufacturing. Today, additively ...

The U.S. Air Force’s Arnold Engineering Development Complex (AEDC) in Tullahoma, Tennessee, wants additive manufacturing to aid the building of parts for DoD hypersonic test facilities, including ...

At first glance, few materials would seem to have less in common than metals and textiles. And yet, by manufacturing nickel-titanium alloys as a highly deformable, interwoven material, more similar to ...

Researchers have developed a method of imprinting a hidden magnetic tag, encoded with authentication information, within manufactured hardware during the part fabrication process. The revolutionary ...

Current policy strongly prohibits the Army from ordering small quantities of spare parts with short notice. That currently acts as an Achilles heel for their Abrams tank fleets.
