Triply-twinned lattice: three mirror planes make struts stretch, not bend, boosting stiffness. Up to 380% stiffer and 279% stronger than cubic lattices while using the same material. Less sensitive to ...

Imagine holding a 3D-printed part in your hands, marveling at its intricate design, only to have it snap under pressure due to weak layer adhesion. This is the frustrating reality of anisotropic ...

When it comes to FDM 3D prints and making them stronger, most of the focus is on the outer walls and factors like their layer adhesion. However, paying some attention to the often-ignored insides of a ...

It is a fact of life that 3D printed parts from an FDM (fused deposition modeling) printer have weaknesses where the layers join. Some of this is due to voids and imperfect layer bonding, but you can ...

Engineers at the University of Maine have developed a groundbreaking method to accurately predict the strength of lightweight 3D-printed objects. This research, conducted at the university's Advanced ...

Jeff's been involved in the IT industry since before the Internet and spent more than 20 years working in technical support, system administration, network administration, and consulting roles. He ...

MIT researchers have designed a printable aluminum alloy that’s five times stronger than cast aluminum and holds up at extreme temperatures. Machine learning helped them zero in on the ideal recipe in ...

Researchers at MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) have created a new system that aims to address a huge trade-off in 3D-printing — sustainable 3D-printing filaments ...

Apparently, folks in the material science world are totally over the fact that we're able to 3D print titanium alloys willy-nilly. Because they have exceptional strength-to-weight ratios, corrosion ...
