Additive manufacturing is a process that adds material, usually on a layer-to-layer basis, to make a 3D object based off the interpretation of 3D computer-aided-design (CAD) data. Additive ...

A University of Southern California inventor has created a machine that can produce 3-dimensional "printouts" in plastic and even metal more quickly and cheaply than widely-used existing systems. The ...

A 3D printing method called laser sintering is helping to change the face of unmanned-air-vehicle (UAV) design. Engineers at the University of Southampton in the U. K. designed an entire UAV structure ...

A fast and accurate surrogate model screens over 10,000 possible metal-oxide supports for a platinum nanocatalyst to prevent sintering under high temperatures. “As particles grow in size, they hide ...
