Recently, high-performance lightweight materials with outstanding mechanical properties have opened up their way to some sophisticated industrial applications. As one of these systems, aluminum matrix composites/nanocomposites (AMCs) offer an outstanding combination of relative density, hardness, wear resistance, and mechanical strength. Until now, several additive manufacturing methods have be...

Additive manufacturing (AM) is one of the most trending technologies nowadays, and it has potential to become disruptive for manufacturing. Academia industry pay attention AM because enables a wide range new possibilities design freedom, complex parts production, components, mass personalization, process improvement. The material extrusion (ME) technology metallic materials becoming relevant eq...

Additive manufacturing (AM) has drawn tremendous attention in various fields. In recent years, great efforts have been made to develop novel additive manufacturing processes such as micro-/nano-scale 3D printing, bioprinting, and 4D printing for the fabrication of complex 3D structures with high resolution, living components, and multimaterials. The development of advanced functional materials ...

Large-scale additive manufacturing (LSAM) is an process based on the principles of fused filament fabrication but with significantly higher material deposition rates. The novel hybrid shown in this paper combines LSAM a laser beam heat treatment. structure and mechanical properties parts are improved due to decreased void sizes. following article details investigations into vertical lateral rem...

Living organisms such as bacteria are able to grow, respond to stimuli, and divide as part of their life cycle. Designing smart three-dimensional (3D) materials that are able to perform such feats, i.e., continue on-demand growth and respond to external stimuli, is always a challenge for polymer and material scientists. At present, Johnson and co-workers have made a significant step forward in ...

The advantage of additive manufacturing (AM) (e.g. reasonable time and expense in prototyping, and reliable product) has triggered the idea of using this method in manufacturing of marine vessels components. The current article tries to introduce basic concepts of AM method and its application in marine industry; have a glance at additive-manufactured parts microstructure; elaborate the challen...
