| Auburn Puts AM to the Test |
| The Center for Additive Manufacturing at Auburn University, Alabama, is now home to a $1.5-million X-ray CT system for the nondestructive testing of 3D printed parts, essential to the university’s programs to produce “mission critical” parts for aerospace and aviation industries. The new system, acquired through a grant from the National Institute of Standards and Technology, includes a customized digital radiology vault from Pinnacle X-Ray Solutions that accommodates additive manufacturing (AM) machines designed and built by Auburn researchers to fit within the X-ray vault. |

Key Considerations for Metal AM Process Parameters
To proceed from a design concept to final part, one must account for
optimization of various processes and process parameters along the way.
Even when one manages to select an AM technology and material for an
application, each system offers a wide variety of processing parameters.
Thus, adoption of metal AM requires an understanding of the complete AM
process cycle. |
