Subtractive manufacturing processes are usually accompanied by the occurrence of tiny flakes and swarf, which later on cause severe wear damage, especially in moving components such as rolling or sliding bearings, pistons, etc. However, up until now, detrimental effects have hardly been investigated. One reason is lack a definition typical design debris particle. Therefore, main goal project de...

Porous biodegradable Mg and its alloys are considered to have a great potential serve as ideal bone substitutes. The recent progress in additive manufacturing (AM) has prompted application fabricate scaffolds with geometrically ordered porous structures. Extrusion-based AM, followed by debinding sintering, been recently demonstrated powerful approach fabricating such scaffolds, which can avoid ...

Extrusion-based 3D printing followed by debinding and sintering is a powerful approach that allows for the fabrication of porous scaffolds from materials (or material combinations) are otherwise very challenging to process using other additive manufacturing techniques. Iron one have been recently shown be amenable processing this approach. Indeed, fully interconnected design has potential resol...

Abstract Metal-filled polymers can serve as the starting material to produce complex metal structures using cost-effective additive manufacturing process Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF). In this process, filaments consisting of polymer binders (e.g., polylactic acid (PLA)) and micropowder highly conductive metals copper) are extruded through a nozzle build up desired geometry layer by layer. T...
