Taking on Metallic Glasses 3D Printing with AMAZEMET’s Lukasz Zrodowski
Metallic glasses (MGs), or amorphous metals, are materials with a disordered atomic structure, unlike the ordered crystal lattice found in traditional metals. This unique structure provides them with superior strength,…
Fabrisonic 3D Prints Bulk Metallic Glasses to Make Wear-Resistant Surfaces
Fabrisonic has always been a bit of an outlier in 3D print land. The company develops Ultrasonic Additive Manufacturing (UAM), which uses sound waves to join together layers of metal…
German Manufacturers Heraeus AMLOY and TRUMPF Collaborate to 3D Print Industrial Amorphous Parts
Two German companies are collaborating to begin 3D printing industrial amorphous metals—also known as metallic glass and twice as strong as steel—offering greater elasticity and the potential to produce lightweight…
3D Printed Metallic Glass Demonstrates Benefits of Both Metal and Thermoplastics
A team of researchers led by Jan Schroers, Professor of Mechanical Engineering and Materials Science at Yale, has developed a way to 3D print objects from metallic glass. The material…
New Study Shows that SLM 3D Printing Has High Potential for Fabricating Metallic Glass Components
Metallic glass, also known as amorphous metal, was first introduced in the early 1960s, and since then, it seems that everyone wants in on the action. The material is valued for…
NC State Researchers Successfully 3D Print Metallic Glass Alloys in Bulk
Amorphous metal, or metallic glass, is a solid metal material with a disordered atomic-scale structure, not dissimilar to conventional glass. The material is not like the glass you see in…
Heraeus Group and Exmet Have Developed a 3D Printing Process That Uses Amorphous Metals
Typically, metals are all composed of highly ordered, crystalline structures of atoms. While there are obvious uses and benefits of this type of atomic arrangement, there is a limit to…
