3D printing creates shapes that would be impossible with any other method. For example, in 2015 GE designed fuel nozzles for airplane engines that could only be made with metal 3D printing.

Rain and snow melt had been seeping under the metal flashing and onto the wood sheathing, which consequently rotted. The entire gable was leaning dangerously inward and had to be rebuilt.

5 But if it’s printed horizontally, the shape is built from stacked rectangles of varying widths, and the side in contact with the build plate will appear flattened. This shift in orientation leads to ...

Michigan’s Frederik Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park focuses on the artist’s three-dimensional works in a show that highlights their elegant evocation of landscapes.

It will also open the door to research on new aluminum alloys that use quasicrystals for strength. Quasicrystals are like ordinary crystals but with a few key differences. The quasicrystals found in ...

This discovery may lead to new aluminum alloys specifically designed to leverage quasicrystals for improved strength. A Penrose tile pattern has some of the same properties as quasicrystals. Even ...

The quasicrystals found in this study form the corners of 20-sided shape called an icosahedron ... He was examining a sliver of a new aluminum alloy at the atomic scale, searching for the key to its ...
