Heat exchangers are the poster child of metal additive manufacturing. It’s true. Every time a metal 3D printer manufacturer wants to demonstrate the attributes of metal additive manufacturing, they create a compact, light-weight heat...
Why are heat exchangers the poster child of additive manufacturing? Here we discuss why additive manufacturing is used for heat exchangers, give design advice and discuss the challenges involved with printing these components. A...
3D printing enables engineers to customize the design of everything, even a heat sink designed to cool down computer processors. A team of Purdue ME students — Soumya Bandyopadhyay, Julia Meyer, Adeline Naon, and...
In modern aircraft, fuel spends much of its time in the wings where it gets rather cold. This could cause it to crystallize and clog the system. However, the chilled fuel gives engineers an...
VELO3D, an innovator in metal Additive Manufacturing (AM), has entered into a collaborative partnership with PWR for material development for the Sapphire 3D metal printer and serial manufacturing of state-of-the-art heat exchangers. With bases...
The U.S. Department of Energy’s Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy, or ARPA-E, awarded Michigan State University a $2.3 million grant to deepen its growing expertise in additive manufacturing, known as 3D metal printing, and high-efficiency...
Three-dimensional printing is revolutionizing how we manufacture objects in almost every industry—from vehicles to medical devices to biotech. Now, the University of Maryland, through a partnership with 3D Systems and the U.S. Department of...
Conflux Technology, an Australian company specializing in additive manufacturing applications, has focused its efforts on developing new and innovative solutions for thermal and fluid engineering. In a recent case study, the company details how...
Fabrisonic, an Ohio-based company specializing in metal 3D printing, has taken a step closer to Mars. Fabrisonic’s used its patented technology to additively manufacture heat exchanger devices. The metal 3D printed components have now...
