Dramatically reducing defects, new technique opens applications for 3D-printing metal parts - University of Wisconsin-Madison

UW researchers have discovered a way to enable a prominent additive manufacturing technique called laser powder bed fusion to produce metal parts that have significantly fewer defects.

UWMadison mechanical engineering professor Lianyi Chen, left, and doctoral students Luis Escano and Minglei Qu, right, work in Chens lab, where they developed a technique to limit defects in 3D print… [+3853 chars]
