ZERO-LEAK MANIFOLDS: Optimized Sealing in 3D Printed Systems In the aerospace and energy sectors, the integrity of fuel and fluid manifolds is critical. Leaks not only compromise performance but can lead to safety hazards, increased maintenance, and system fail... Feb 13, 2026
Defects Start at the Source: Why Post-Processing Can’t Fix Everything It’s a common misconception in metal additive manufacturing that post-processing is a cure-all. While finishing operations like CNC machining, polishing, and heat treatment play a critical role in ach... Feb 13, 2026
Underestimating distortion in thin lattice structures Lattice structures are a game-changer in additive manufacturing. By replacing solid volumes with interconnected struts, they reduce part weight while maintaining strength. However, as we push the limi... Nov 25, 2025
Do You Always Need to Heat-Treat 3D Printed Parts? In the world of metal additive manufacturing, heat treatment is often seen as a non-negotiable step, but is it always necessary? Not quite. While some alloys require extensive post-processing to achie... Nov 18, 2025
