Argonne scientists who worked on a project to avoid defects in 3D-printed parts pose in front of a device that simulates laser powder bed fusion in a commercial 3D printer. Pictured, clockwise from ...

3D printers are exact and are a fantastic way to print complicated parts that couldn't be built otherwise. However, sometimes 3D printers make mistakes by extruding too much material, too little, or ...

Scientists from the federally funded Argonne National Laboratory in Illinois and the University of Virginia have developed a new approach for detecting defects in metal parts produced by 3D printing.

Using X-ray beams and machine learning for detecting structural defects, such as pore formation, can help prevent failure of metal 3D-printed parts. Systematic computer-based material design uses ...

Check out this excellent story about a little girl named Violet born with a rare defect, a Tessier facial cleft, that left a fissure in her skull, and how 3D-printing is helping doctors take on these ...

As implausible as it might be, the days for construction defect litigation could be numbered. By 2026, it might be gone for good thanks to exploding technological applications. You might be thinking ...
