Stronger 3D Printed Parts with Electroplating. Posted: May 27, 2025 | Last updated: May 27, 2025. In this video we electroplate SLA samples with Acid Copper and Bright Nickel, ...

[Ben Krasnow] of the Applied Science channel recently released a video demonstrating his process for getting copper-plated traces reliably embedded into sintered nylon powder (SLS) 3D printed parts… ...

Laser powder bed fusion, a 3D-printing technique, offers potential in the manufacturing industry, particularly when fabricating nickel-titanium shape memory alloys with complex geometries.

Creating a CAD Model: the Key to Replacing Rare Parts . The first and largest hurdle to 3D printing a replacement part is getting a 3D CAD of the part to accurately describe the part’s geometry.

Researchers took a novel approach to explore the way microstructure emerges in a 3D-printed metal alloy: They bombarded it with X-rays while the material was being printed.

One key factor is the formation of dislocations: defects in the crystal structure that develop during the printing process. These defects can significantly impact strength, toughness, and ductility.
