Quasicrystals, once considered impossible, were found in a 3D-printed aluminum alloy – and they make it stronger. This could ...

Andrew Iams saw something strange while looking through his electron microscope. He was examining a sliver of a new aluminum alloy at the atomic scale, searching for the key to its strength, when he ...

Zero. Vertices? None. Oh dear! Oh well. The spheres are disappointed and one is angry. 3D shapes have faces (sides), edges and vertices (corners). Faces - A face is a flat or curved surface on a ...

One layer at a time, the laser melts the powder into a solid shape. 3D printing creates shapes that would be impossible with any other method. For example, in 2015 GE designed fuel nozzles for ...

Faces - A face is a flat surface on a 3D shape. For example a cube has 6 faces. Edges - An edge is where two faces meet. For example a cube has 12 edges. Vertices - A vertex is a corner where ...
