Engineers at the Amess Laboratory’s Critical Materials Institute used laser 3D metal printing to turn permanent magnet material into an economical alternative to more expensive rare-earth neodymium ...

Magnets are typically made via a costly injection molding process. Scientists, however, often just need a few of them in specific shapes. Thankfully for them, an Austrian team has developed a method ...

OAK RIDGE, Tenn., Nov. 1 (UPI) --New research suggests permanent magnets constructed by 3D printers perform as well as or better than magnets made by traditional methods. Using additive manufacturing ...

There is virtually no limit to the items that can be produced with 3D-printing technology these days, and now researchers at the US Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) have ...

Compared with the very early days of 3D printing, it’s now possible to use additive manufacturing to print using an extraordinary breadth of materials. One filament type which has remained largely ...

Magnets are pretty nice little tools. [EmGi] has used them in many a cool 3D printed build with great success. But getting them where you want can be really tricky. More often than not, you end up ...

(Nanowerk News) Physicists at the Ural Federal University (UrFU, Ekaterinburg, Russia) will print unique magnets, magnetic systems, soft magnetic elements with a 3D printer. Samples made with this ...

Researchers have taken a major step toward printed, aligned anisotropic magnets via additive manufacturing processes. The U.S. Department of Energy's Critical Materials Institute has taken a major ...

In a paper published in Scientific Reports, scientists at Oak Ridge National Labs present 3D printed permanent isotropic magnets that use rare earth metals recycled from computer hard drives. The ...
