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 ...

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

NIST researchers have found that non-repeating quasicrystals create defects in 3D printed aluminum that strengthen the metal.

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 ...

It’s producing parts that would otherwise be impossible to come by.

Why is 3D printing being used in space exploration? We give you eight reasons covering everything from rocket building to ...
