Porosity and other defects are a problem where it comes to parts printed with metal powder bed fusion processes. One team of researchers from the U.S. Department of Energy’s Argonne National Laboratory, and Texas A&M University have published their findings which may play a part in reducing these subsurface defects. The team has figured out […]

In this post we will be looking at the Cold Metal Fusion (CMF) AM method, and we will be answering that exact question. What is it? The sinter-based technology was developed by Germany-based company Headmade Materials. This company was recently in the news because they completed a €1.9 million funding round thanks to Industrial Technologies […]

Singapore-based Additive Flight Solutions Pte. Ltd. has received AS9100D certification, which will enable the company to provide parts to the aerospace industry. AS9100D is an aerospace quality management system akin to ISO 9001 (it actually contains ISO 9001, and a whole lot more), and having this certification is a requirement for doing business in the […]
