Researchers at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) have developed a new high-temperature, 3D-printable aluminum alloy that they say could expand the use of lightweight materials in automotive and aerospace applications while improving energy efficiency.

A new manufacturing-oriented control system developed at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory is improving the reliability of large-scale 3D printing by detecting and correcting errors in real time.

A new development in manufacturing using wool as a renewable colour source for 3D printing has been launched in New Zealand, with two companies introducing what they describe as a world-first wool-coloured filament product.

New developments in additive manufacturing are being examined as a potential way to reshape how key safety components for nuclear fuel transport are produced, with a focus on manufacturing efficiency, cost and performance, according to a report published by the American Nuclear Society.

Researchers at MIT have unveiled a new multimaterial 3D-printing platform designed to streamline the manufacturing of complex electric machines, potentially enabling rapid, on-site production of devices that traditionally require specialized equipment.
