Part of the new hybrid setup developed by WSU researchers that creates parts using precise computer programming and two welding heads. It uses commonplace, relatively inexpensive tools, so manufacturers and repair shops could potentially use this method in the near future. Credit: Washington State University
Taking a cue from the structural complexity of trees and bones, Washington State University engineers have created a way to 3D-print two types of steel in the same circular layer using two welding machines. The resulting bimetallic material proved to be 33% to 42% stronger than either metal alone, thanks in part to pressure caused between the …
