Top 1: Additive Manufacturing Materials

According to the following video from Engineering.com, the rate of adoption of industrial additive manufacturing will be directly correlated to availability of a diverse range of custom commodity and engineering materials. Reports this year have reflected on the fact that materials in the 3D printing sector have been growing and will continue to grow as they dictate many of the applications that are possible today. Whether they fuse powder, cure resin or lay down filament, 3D printers have come a long way in terms of accuracy, precision, reliability, and capability. Engineering.com explains that material selection is truly the frontier of development for additive manufacturing.

Top 2: Northrop Grumman relies on additive manufacturing

When it comes to aeronautics, and particularly hypersonic applications, we often talk about a demanding environment, with very high temperatures and a high stress factor. However, through additive manufacturing, Northrop Grumman is able to design parts that meet these requirements. The design and manufacturing process is easier and faster, offering more flexibility to the company. Find out more in the following video!
