Thanks to groundbreaking concepts such as generative design and topology optimization software, additive manufacturing is liberating design engineers in ways that were unfathomable even a decade ago.

Additive manufacturing (or 3D printing) performs well in prototyping, where speed and flexibility outweigh cost and throughput constraints. Problems begin when those same designs move into production.

Challenges when dealing with high-power-density designs. Utilizing cloud manufacturing platforms (CMPs). Power packaging using additive manufacturing. Today’s designers are now more equipped to ...

Injection molding has long been the workhorse for producing plastic parts. It’s economical for high volumes and offers reliable and repeatable methods for most designs. Additive manufacturing, also ...

The utilization of the triply periodic minimal surface (TPMS) has emerged as a highly effective approach for designing lattice structures due to its smooth surfaces, intricately connected lattice ...

A Sandia National Laboratories team built a telescope to demonstrate how to design for additive manufacturing, familiarly known as 3-D printing, to take advantage of the technique's strengths and ...

Additive manufacturing has been around electronics since thick-film, screened hybrids came on the scene more than 30 years ago. And while those never quite went away, they never gained the prominence ...

Researchers from the University of West Attica have introduced a comprehensive framework that redefines how products are designed for additive manufacturing (3D printing). Published in Advanced ...

With the rapid development of material science and manufacturing science, a large number of complex structures have been designed, manufactured and applied in the industrial field. Most of the current ...
