Jack Beuth, director of the NextManufacturing Center at Carnegie Mellon University and Professor of Mechanical Engineering, predicts that there will be five key advances in metals additive manufacturing over the next five years – and researchers from the NextManufacturing Center are currently working on projects to help these advances take place.
“NextManufacturing research at Carnegie Mellon will help enable these advances, which will significantly increase build rate and reduce cost, improve properties such as fatigue resistance, allow for customization of the entire process, and, ultimately, increase the widespread adoption of metals additive manufacturing,” says Beuth. “At the Center, we are developing an entirely new approach to metals additive manufacturing – merging data from all parts of the process to create a fully integrated understanding of the technology. This approach will optimize part geometries, material properties, cost and design.”
