For metallic alloys in aerospace, machine learning can make the development of additive manufacturing (AM) processes both faster and cheaper. In collaboration with the University of Sheffield Advanced ...

Researchers at Empa have developed machine learning algorithms that reduce preliminary testing in laser-based metal additive manufacturing by about two-thirds without compromising quality. Using ...

Laser-based metal manufacturing, including powder bed fusion (PBF) 3D printing, requires precise parameter settings that can change even between batches of identical material. Empa researchers Giulio ...

Sustainability metrics for additive manufacturing are evolving, with a focus on enterprise-wide impact rather than just part-to-part comparisons, emphasizing resource efficiency and environmental ROI.
