How Copper, Diamonds, & Beam Shaping are Revolutionizing 3D Printing

Additive Snack · 15 Apr 2025 · 1h 06m · Episode 6

What this episode covers

Arun Arjunan, John Robinson, and Manpreet Singh from the University of Wolverhampton discuss the university's 25-year history in laser powder bed fusion and the launch of its new Center of Excellence for Additive Manufacturing. They detail groundbreaking research into copper and copper-diamond composites for thermal management, explaining how shaped laser technology enables the processing of challenging materials like pure copper and silver at lower power levels. The conversation covers applications in battery thermal management, semiconductor manufacturing, and the role of additive manufacturing in reshoring production and workforce development.

    The Digital Warehouse: A Look Inside Additive Manufacturing w/ Melanie Lang

    Melanie Lang, Co-Founder and CEO of FormAlloy, discusses the evolution of additive manufacturing from prototyping to production, focusing on Directed Energy Deposition (DED) technology. She explains how DED uses laser energy and metal powder to build or repair parts layer-by-layer, enabling multimaterial solutions and large-scale builds without support structures. Lang highlights aerospace applications like rocket nozzles and heat exchangers, where DED combines copper alloys for thermal properties with nickel superalloys for strength. She also addresses the industry's shift toward viewing manufacturing as a 'digital warehouse,' where digital files replace physical inventory, though she notes that trust and certification standards are still evolving.

    Why Your Toughest Parts Still Use 50-Year-Old Materials w/ Fazal Mahmood

    Fazal Mahmood, co-founder and CEO of Phase Shift Technologies, explains how AI is accelerating the discovery of new metal alloys to replace 50-year-old materials in industries like oil and gas, aerospace, and defense. He details the critical gap between designing a material and qualifying it for regulated markets, noting that legacy producers often lack the incentive to innovate outside their core franchises. Mahmood highlights three key drivers for this shift: the maturation of additive manufacturing, the performance limits of existing materials in technologies like nuclear fusion, and supply chain disruptions in critical raw materials like tungsten. He illustrates these points with a specific example of a new printable tungsten carbide alloy designed for laser powder bed fusion to solve wear resistance issues in complex flow components.

    Additive Manufacturing on the Shop Floor: Hype, Reality, and Where It Actually Works, Ep #37

    Mark Barfoot, VP of Global Sales at Exact Metal, discusses the practical application of metal additive manufacturing in machine shops, moving beyond hype to real-world use cases like jigs, fixtures, and end-use parts. He explains that while the technology is maturing, success requires designing for additive (DfAM) rather than simply replacing CNC machining, and highlights the importance of facility safety, powder handling, and building internal expertise. Barfoot notes that laser powder bed fusion is becoming more accessible for job shops, with lower-cost machines enabling production runs of thousands of small parts, provided the geometry justifies the cost.

    The Arrival of High-Volume Metal Additive Manufacturing w/ James DeMuth

    James DeMuth, Co-Founder & CEO of Seurat Technologies, explains how his company’s 'area printing' technology disrupts metal additive manufacturing by increasing throughput to compete with conventional methods like casting and machining. He details the technical limitations of legacy laser powder bed fusion, such as speed and variability, and describes Seurat’s parallel laser approach that reduces production time from years to days. DeMuth discusses the economic implications for US manufacturing, arguing that high-volume additive can reshape supply chains by enabling local production and reducing inventory, while calling for public-private partnerships to counter Chinese subsidies.

    50. Additive Manufacturing for Eardrums and Nano-Objects

    Hosts Daniel and Forbode discuss advancements in additive manufacturing, starting with a compact 3D laser nanoprinter from Heidelberg University and Karlsruhe Institute of Technology that uses a low-powered semiconductor laser to make nanoscale printing accessible and affordable. They then explore research from the University of Cambridge, where 3D printing and machine learning are combined to create synthetic cochleas to study 'current spread' in cochlear implants. The hosts highlight how these technologies allow biologists to simulate human anatomy and understand hearing mechanics without invasive procedures.
