[Chris Borge] has made (and revised) many of his own tools using a combination of 3D printing and common hardware, and recently decided to try metal casting. Having created his own tapping arm, he ...

There is a way of making things that works from the inside out, and it produces shapes no other method can. Almost every other approach is subtractive or formative: material is cut away, bent, beaten ...

BMW Group brands 3D-print metal & plastic parts for some exclusive cars. Additive Manufacturing Campus near Munich features 50 metal & polymer printers. High cost of Laser Beam Melting means ...

Working with GE Additive, GE Aviation has made the switch to 3D printing four parts that were previously produced with castings. GE Aviation is saving time and money by 3D printing four bleed air ...

Most manufacturers would never dream of switching from an investment cast part to one made by additive manufacturing, especially if they already had paid for the casting mold. Yet that is exactly what ...

MEQUON, Wis.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--A foundational shift is occurring within the structural DNA of heavy equipment manufacturing. Charter Casting, the leading provider of innovative cast metal solutions ...

Researchers have shown that a machine learning model trained on casting data, guided by chromium and nickel equivalents, can ...

Metal and metallic alloy casting is widely used for manufacturing components in high-performance industries, including automotive and aerospace. However, cast metallic alloys often exhibit limitations ...

Perhaps the biggest hurdle to starting a home blacksmithing operating is the forge. There’s really no way around having a forge; somehow the metal has to get hot enough to work. Although we might be ...

Molds made using maskless photopolymerization technology and airfoil components produced using this technique could be applied to manufacturing medical device parts. (Georgia Tech photo by Gary Meek) ...

Digital casting merges process simulation with 3D-printed sand molds to improve the production of complex aerospace components. Simulation allows engineers to optimize mold design and predict casting ...
