Additive manufacturing has arrived in industry for metals, but for highly stressed components the material often remains the bottleneck. Pumps, valves, or screw conveyors operate at high temperatures, with abrasive particles and sometimes corrosive media. Conventionally, wear-resistant materials are processed for this purpose with considerable effort—through coating, hardfacing, or complex casting and finishing steps. A […] The post Bayreuth thesis shows ways to print metal-matrix composites crack-free via PBF-LB/M appeared first on 3Printr.com.

Industrial 3D printing is technically established in many companies, but in regulated applications it often fails due to a lack of verifiable process quality. Especially where components require documentation, end-to-end traceability is what determines series approvals and audit readiness.
