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 ...

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) ...

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 ...

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 ...

This is magic, big news, both, or neither. It’s so exciting to see magnets behave in this bizarre and wonderful way that we think it’s hard to forecast where this will go. Shown above is a pair of ...

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 ...

Today, manufacturing strong magnets is no problem from a technical perspective. It is, however, difficult to produce a permanent magnet with a magnetic field of a specific pre-determined shape. That ...

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 ...

The basics of magnets are pretty simple. You've got a north and south pole and as we learned in grade school, opposites attract and similar poles repel. A company by the name of Correlated Magnetics ...

Permanent magnets produced by additive manufacturing can outperform bonded magnets made using traditional techniques while conserving critical materials, new research indicates. Researchers at the ...
