On the surface, additively manufactured parts may seem like just a series of really small welds, but the minute details of exactly how you print a component play a significant role in its performance.
Additive manufacturing has many advantages over traditional manufacturing. It creates parts with essentially no waste. It produces complex designs as easily as simple ones.
A thermoplastic-based composite feedstock known as carbon fiber–ABS is the workhorse of polymer- composite 3D printing at DOE’s Manufacturing Demonstration Facility, located at ORNL.
Leveraging his expertise in image processing, sensors, and machine learning, Vincent Paquit is devising a control system for additive manufacturing to produce 3D-printed parts that function as well as conventionally produced objects.
A new method to produce large, monolayer single-crystal-like graphene films more than a foot long relies on harnessing a “survival of the fittest” competition among crystals.
A few miles from Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) sits a quiet house in a suburban neighborhood.
Most car owners in the United States do not think twice about passing over the diesel pump at the gas station.
A novel method developed at Oak Ridge National Laboratory creates supertough renewable plastic with improved manufacturability.
Yarom Polsky’s diverse background in private and public-sector research has given him a knack for recognizing opportunities to advance the state-of-the-art, and he parlays that knowledge into successful innovation as an engineer, group leader, and
Brian Post came to the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory looking for a way to combine his interests in controls engineering and robotics, and he found it at the Manufacturing Demonstration Facility (MDF), where he and his colleagues a
