Researcher works to make 3D-printed metals stronger, customizable
A scientist at Worcester Polytechnic Institute is working on a way to change metal 3D printing that could revolutionize the way products are customized.
Diran Apelian, a professor of mechanical engineering at WPI, is researching the use of so-called semi-solid metals, instead of powdered metals, in additive manufacturing. His work could give manufacturers more metals to work with and ultimately create 3D-printed products that are stronger and longer lasting.
