With an eye toward a zero-carbon energy future, GE researchers are partnering with top chemists and engineers from UC Berkeley and the University of South Alabama. The team has been awarded a two- year,...
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...
From conditioning the air you breathe on an airplane to keeping your car’s engine, computer, and other electronics cool, heat exchangers perform important functions and are ever-present in our daily lives. For GE, these...
The production process of injection molded products is generally divided into five steps, consisting of clamping time, filling time, holding pressure time, cooling time and demolding time, of which cooling time accounts for the...
Prof. Shankar Krishnan & Prof. Sripriya Ramamoorthy, Associate Professors at the Department of Mechanical Engineering, IIT Bombay have developed a multifunctional heat sink enabled by 3D printing, which can dissipate heat from mechanical devices...
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...
HEWAM project aims to develop a heat exchanger using all the potential of additive manufacturing. We propose a geometry that fits with a wide range of surfaces and volume used in aerospace industry. Double...
General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. (GA-ASI) has partnered with Australia-based Conflux Technology on the development of a heat exchanger. The part is being developed using a metal Additive Manufacturing process for possible integration onto...
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...
