Microgravity Research Targets Defects in Metal Additive Manufacturing
3D Printing Industry
AI SUMMARY
The NSF and ISS National Laboratory are funding research to study how metal powder particles behave during 3D printing using microgravity conditions in space. This study aims to identify and fix defects in metal additive manufacturing, potentially improving the quality and reliability of 3D-printed metal components.
FROM THE ARTICLE
The U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) and the International Space Station (ISS) National Laboratory have selected a new research project that will use microgravity to study how metal powder particles melt and mix, a process at the heart of metal 3D printing. Led by Patricia Weisensee of…
