This Collection supports and amplifies research related to SDG 9 - Industry & Innovation and SDG 12 - Ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns. Due to their unique set of properties, ...

Additive manufacturing has emerged as a collection of disruptive technologies for fabricating parts with complex geometries and site-specific microstructures. It has been even shown that their ...

In aerospace additive manufacturing, you expect the story to start with rockets. This one starts with an ink cartridge.

Historically, the evolution of aerospace materials processing has been driven by the unyielding quest for lighter, stronger, and more durable materials. From the initial days of wood and fabric in ...

Imagine printing a nuclear reactor core — or nuclear fuel pellets — in 3D. It may sound far-fetched that 3D printing could create materials robust enough to withstand the extreme environment of a ...

Over the last 13 years, General Atomics Aeronautical Systems Inc. (GA-ASI) has explored the use of polymer/composite and metal additive manufacturing (AM) as a cost- and time-saving alternative to ...

The U.S. Navy has long valued the potential of additive manufacturing (AM) and 3D Printing. AM refers to the depositing of material layer by layer to create an object. For the Navy, it’s not practical ...

The armed services are increasingly turning to additive manufacturing – commonly known as 3D printing – to produce parts on demand, reduce costs, and boost readiness. For example, the Southeast ...

Editor’s note: This is the first article in a two-part series exploring additive manufacturing. The Pentagon has poured unprecedented funds into additive manufacturing as a potential game-changer for ...

NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory has successfully deployed the JPL Additive Compliant Canister in orbit, aboard the Proteus Space M1 ESPA class satellite.

In recent years, reshoring has evolved from a strategic consideration to a central priority for both policymakers and businesses. A combination of supply chain disruptions, rising import costs, and ...
