In the late 1980s, Binder Jetting (BJ), or powder-liquid three-dimensional printing (3DP), was developed by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Licensing this technology to several sectors ...

In many, but not all cases, the PM process transforms metal powder into components used for structural applications, for example, gears, bearings, connecting rods, and parts used in medical ...

Multi-faceted powder characterization, including measurement of dynamic properties, can be used to correlate powder properties and process performance to support equipment selection, optimization, and ...

Deformation processes transform solid materials from one shape into another. The initial shape is usually simple (e.g., a billet or sheet blank) and is plastically deformed between tools, or dies, to ...

In order to improve the forming quality, it is vital to understand the mechanisms that cause the plastic strain localization which eventually leads to ductile damage occurrence in the incremental ...

Forming sheet metal is one of the most critical processes in fabricating and manufacturing parts and components. In sheet metal forming, metals are reshaped in their solid state while they are still ...
