Bio Buildings, Printed Pavilions

Researchers at ORNL and the University of Maine receive the Aubin Case Study Award for addressing the low-income housing crisis by printing affordable, earth-friendly homes.

The Wide World of Deburring and Refinishing

Burrs, sharp edges, and rough surfaces plague even the most precise metal-cutting or forming process. Deburring and finishing can often be treated as the step-child of a manufacturing process, but its importance is growing as tolerances get tighter and precision devices become the norm.

Heading to Mars? Pack a 3D Printer!

If NASA’s Journey to Mars project succeeds, the astronauts who make the 140 million-mile (225 million-km) trip to the Red Planet in the 2030s will need someplace to stay. The space agency is looking at 3D printing, using on-site materials, to manufacture humanity’s first deep space home.

First Plastics, Then Metals and Now Composites

Impossible Objects LLC, a Chicago-based company, has brought to market a new composites material manufacturing technology known as Composite-Based Additive Manufacturing (CBAM) 3D technology which produces Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic (CFRP) or Polymer Matrix Composite (PMC) parts.

CAM Streamlines Custom Manufacturing

Using a digital process such as computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) software can streamline the workflow between the additive and subtractive processes and reduce the chance of error,
