Lincoln Electric and DOE's Manufacturing Demonstration Facility at ORNL partnered to solve scientific challenges and expand market opportunities for robotic large-scale metal additive manufacturing.
American industries face months-long waits for forged and cast metal parts from overseas, slowing innovation in areas vital to the nation’s energy, infrastructure and security.
A team of ORNL researchers has received the Editor’s Choice Award from the American Ceramics Society for a study on the effectiveness of using advanced ceramics and 3D printing to build high-temperature heat exchangers.
An Oak Ridge National Laboratory breakthrough in additive manufacturing allows for the control of microscopic grain patterns in metal components.
Additive Engineering Solutions, an Ohio-based company, was forged to meet the growing demand for large polymer 3D prints in aerospace, defense and construction — a niche identified through pioneering research at the Department of Energy’s Manufacturing
Research at ORNL’s Manufacturing Demonstration Facility helped spark the creation of Additive Engineering Solutions, which turned big-area 3D printing from a research concept into a growing commercial industry.
During forging, metal is heated to high temperatures until it becomes malleable and can be shaped by applying pressure.
Scientists at ORNL have integrated binder jet additive manufacturing with an advanced post-processing method to fabricate leak-tight ceramic components, overcoming a key challenge of ceramic additive manufacturing.
Gate Precast, in collaboration with ORNL, used 3D-printed carbon-fiber reinforced molds in the construction of the façade for the One South First building, located on the site of Brooklyn’s old Domino Sugar refinery.
Oak Ridge National Laboratory researcher Amir Ziabari has been chosen to receive the Young Professionals in Additive Manufacturing Award by the Advancing Standards Transforming Markets (ASTM) Additive Manufacturing Center for Excellence.
