3D Printing Webinar and Event Roundup: May 29, 2022

It’s a pretty calm week in the world of 3D printing and advanced manufacturing webinars and events, so enjoy the break! Hannover Messe is taking place, Nanoscribe is hosting an…

Effect of Build Orientation on the Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of SLM 3D Printed Titanium

One of the challenges of 3D printing is the ability to get repeatable results, like good mechanical properties and identical microstructure, using different build orientations. A lot of research has…

Researchers Look at Fatigue Response of DMLS 3D Printed Maraging Steel

Known to possess superior strength and toughness without losing its malleability, maraging steel is a 3D printable, low-carbon alloy based on Martensite steel. It’s a special class of exceptionally strong steels,…

Study Looks at Effects of Surface Slope and Build Orientation in Material Jetting 3D Printing

Several studies have analyzed the surface finish of 3D printed objects, but very few have looked at the surface finish and dimensional accuracy of those 3D printed through material jetting….
