Progress in Additive Manufacturing

Additive manufacturing (AM) offers a high potential for light weight applications due to its possibility to generate complex structures with a high freedom of design compared to conventional techniques. However, the mechanical characterization of …

Orthoses (exoskeletons and fracture fixation devices) enhance users’ ability to function and improve their quality of life by supporting alignment correction, restoring mobility, providing protection, immobilisation and stabilisation. Ideally …

Magnetic pulse welding (MPW) is a clean and green solid-state method that provides metallurgical joints. MPW is a high-speed single-shot welding technique. Additive manufacturing (AM) laser powder-bed fusion method is an emerging technology, but …

The selectivity between electrically conductive and insulating regions within one additively manufactured part can open new domains for customized, smart, and active products. In this article, new electrically conductive polymer matrix composites …

In this work, the Ni-based super alloy Inconel 718 manufactured via electron beam melting is investigated. Typical microstructure of Inconel 718, which was processed by electron beam melting, consists of columnar oriented dendritic structure with …
