However, one of the persistent challenges in laser powder-bed fusion (LPBF) metal 3D printing is the high reflectivity of certain metals, which can lead to inefficient energy absorption during the ...

Roger Luo, General Manager of TRUNNANO, discusses the future of 3D printing metal powders to promote the innovation of 3D printing technology with cutting-edge metal powders, spanning many ...

It remains to be seen how successful Arconic will be with its 3D printing initiatives, including the new metal powder plant, or how large a portion of its overall business they'll comprise. Its ...

State-of-the-art, 3D printing metal powder production facility located at Alcoa’s Technology Center outside Pittsburgh, PA Alcoa will produce proprietary titanium, nickel and aluminum powders ...

Researchers developed a groundbreaking technique that enhances the optical absorptivity of metal powders used in 3D printing.

Generally, 3D metal printers work by laying down a bed of metal alloy powder, then sintering it with an electron beam or a laser in a pattern based on a digital file.

Novel solution: Tey’s 3D metal printer uses a proprietary formulation to print articles from stainless steel, alumina, copper and silicone without the need for high-energy enclosures.

The metal powder plant is just one of Alcoa's new 3D printing initiatives, as it aims to join 3D Systems(DDD -4.23%) and Stratasys(SSYS -0.11%) as a major player in the industry.
