Subtracting Time From Additive Materials Development

There are thousands of existing metals and alloys, but achieving high-quality additively manufactured materials can be challenging. That means the...
Purdue University researchers have combined 3D printing and electric poling into a single process called electric poling-assisted additive manufacturing, or EPAM. It aligns the dipoles in PVdf filament during the print, which leads to a better indication of stress that is being applied.  (Purdue University image/Robert Nawrocki)
