Materials for additive manufacturing
Scientists at the Fraunhofer IWS have developed methods that allow more materials to be used in additive manufacturing than before. The prerequisite: improving the industrial 3D printers currently in use so that these machines can also process very strong and extremely heat-resistant alloys.
