New research published in Science, led by researchers from Carnegie Mellon University and Argonne National Laboratory, has identified how and when these gas pockets form, as well as a methodology to predict their formation — a pivotal discovery that could dramatically improve the 3D printing process.

This is just so cool. This is one of the many things that make me so amazed by our school. This is a process and a machine that I only imagined in government labs and under further testing huge corporations not something that students at CMU were debugging and experimenting with. The science and the process of metal 3d printing is crazy to me I remember learning and working through my first SLS 3d printer just a few years ago thinking that it was just the cutting age of the amazing technologies and it still is but the rate in which they are moving through different materials and creating better techniques for these new additive means of manufacturing are just mind boggling. Now I just want to go find this machine and these people for myself just so they can explain to me the mere basics of this process so that I may start to add it in the back of my head to my “prototype” kit as I like to call it of things that I don’t have a use for quiet yet but know some day soon I will.
