Additive manufacturing can turn everyday magnetic material into alternatives for expansive rare-earth magnets. Engineers at the Amess Laboratory’s Critical Materials Institute used laser 3D metal ...

How can you produce a magnet with exactly the right magnetic field? A research team now has a solution: for the first time, they have created magnets with a 3D printer. Today, manufacturing strong ...

Researchers in the US have successfully demonstrated 3D-printed permanent magnets that outperform bonded rivals – conserving critical materials is an added bonus. Additive manufacturing has caught up ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

VIENNA, Oct. 25 (UPI) --From a technological perspective, making a powerful magnet is no problem. Precisely controlling the shape of magnet's magnetic field, however, has proven difficult -- until now ...

A simple working knowledge of magnets has long been satisfactory to appreciate their interactions. Magnets are made of metal or an alloy that has somehow been magnetized, and they have one north pole ...

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 ...

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 ...
