January Special Focus Issue: Design for Additive
In this Special Focus Issue of Digital Engineering, learn about the latest advancements in design for additive manufacturing, including new software tools, additive in automotive, custom medical devices, and more.
AM is typically portrayed as the ideal technology to achieve net-shape -- a part that's close to finish and ready for deployment. But the reality may be more complicated than that. In designs with intricate details and small features, and parts manufactured using metal powders, the printed parts require several post-processing steps to remove the flaws and refine the surface to make them deployable.
In this session, Professor Torres-Sanchez explains how different AM technologies affect polymer and metel powder, and shares observations from comparing the same intricate geometry printed with different technologies. She also discusses:
