High-velocity impact welding deposits metal in solid state additive manufacturing, reducing cracking and residual stress in dissimilar metals.

Additive rotor blank production plus separate flow-surface and machining treatments avoids welding damage in shrouded bladed rotors.

Additively made heat pipes vary cross-section and internal grooves along their length to cut pressure drop, weight, and integration complexity.

A 3D-printed manifold-valve housing lets the spool slide directly in the bore, removing sleeves, seals, and fasteners to reduce leakage and assembly complexity.

Recoater-mounted light sources and a photosensor detect condensate on the beam entry window, helping prevent laser-induced build defects.

A server interprets part requests, matches 3D models, and automates print orientation and settings to cut design time and setup cost.

Radial, circumferential, and zig-zag scanning keep only needed DMLM lasers active, improving array utilization and lowering build cost.

Specific metal oxides and silane coupling agents improve LDS plating on thermosetting resin while preserving moisture resistance and thermal stability.

Alternating conductive and insulating layers are fused into a monolithic sensor that withstands heat and vibration with lower thermal stress.
