Recently, the process of suspended layer additive manufacture (SLAM) is demonstrated to create a structure that recapitulated the osteochondral region by printing into an agarose
The term "additive manufacturing" is used to describe the process of 3D Printing. We often shorten it to "AM" and it takes on many forms, such as laser-assisted or electron beam melting. The printer creates the object by adding small amounts of material layer by layer until we have made the entire model.

For this method of additive manufacturing to be incorporated in industry, the mechanical properties of the fabricated structures using the DBD have to be similar to those fabricated conventionally. Lap shear tests were conducted on 2 samples: a sample manufactured through the DBD-assisted process and a sample cured in the oven.
This is the first time that both vari-directional and vari-dimensional material depositions are combined in a new freeform building method, which has potential impact on the FDM and other additive manufacturing methods. Purpose The purpose of this paper is to propose and demonstrate a new additive manufacturing approach that breaks the

3D printing or additive manufacturing is the construction of a three-dimensional object from a CAD model or a digital 3D model. It can be done in a variety of processes in which material is deposited, joined or solidified under computer control, with the material being added together (such as plastics, liquids or powder grains being fused), typically layer by

Functionally graded materials (FGMs) are a new generation of engineered materials whose composition and structure are spatially varied through non-uniform distribution. This article presents a comprehensive overview of FGMs, including their conventional fabrication techniques in brief and a detailed analysis of their fabrication
A simulation of heat and mass transfer for a new additive manufacturing method, pre-melted electron beam freeform fabrication, was realized. In this new method, the wire melts inside the diversion nozzle to form a liquid metal, which then flows through the diversion nozzle to transition to the base metal, solidifying and forming. The critical
