Engineers at the Amess Laboratory’s Critical Materials Institute used laser 3D metal printing to turn permanent magnet material into an economical alternative to more expensive rare-earth neodymium ...

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 ...

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 ...

Metal-containing organic molecules that exhibit magnetism could one day offer a lightweight, flexible alternative to the relatively dense metal and ceramic magnets used in today’s engines, turbines, ...

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 ...

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 ...

Scientists fabricated isotropic, near-net-shape, neodymium-iron-boron (NdFeB) bonded magnets at DOE’s Manufacturing Demonstration Facility at ORNL using the Big Area Additive Manufacturing (BAAM) ...

In a paper published in Scientific Reports, scientists at Oak Ridge National Labs present 3D printed permanent isotropic magnets that use rare earth metals recycled from computer hard drives. The ...

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 ...

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 ...
