Metal-Monolithic Ceramic/Metal Composite Castings Produced Using 3D Printed Sand Molds and Cores
Monolithic ceramic and/or metallic objects can be embedded into metal castings using 3D printed sand mold and core technologies. The resulting composite castings can have a combination of mechanical and/or physical properties that cannot be [...]
Additive “4D” Rheoprinting for the Manufacture of Enhanced Biomaterial Products
A novel additive manufacturing technique, which we have coined as the “4D Rheoprinter”, has been developed. This technique enables 3D printing of polymers with tunable material properties for optimized performance in wide range of applications. [...]
Drop-on-Demand 3D Metal Printing
Karampelas I.H., Vader S., Vader Z., Vader S., Vader Z., Sukhotskiy V., Verma A., Garg G., Tong M., Furlani E.P., University at Buffalo, US
At present, most 3D metal printing applications involve metal powder sintering or melting under the influence of an external energy source such as a laser (e.g. Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) and Direct Metal Sintering (DMLS) [...]

UAM Printing for Rocket Engine Combustion Chambers
Rocket Engine combustion chambers face numerous environmental challenges: Tight Tolerances, High Temperatures, High Pressures, Oxidizing or Reducing Environments, Extreme Temperature Differentials, Cryogenic Fluids,vacuum exposure,, Often at the same time. Traditional manufacturing processes have been horrifically [...]
Powder Metallurgy Characterization of Thermoelectric Materials for Selective Laser Melting
Batista N., El Desouky A., Crandall J., Wang S., Yang J., LeBlanc S., The George Washington University, US
Thermoelectric materials are semiconductors capable of converting heat into electrical energy. Traditional manufacturing of thermoelectric devices involves machining and assembly steps which limit device geometries, result in material loss, and introduce parasitic thermal and electrical [...]
