While some researchers at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory are working on large scale 3D printing, as demonstrated with the Local Motors 3D printed car, others at ORNL have their sights focused on the microscale. At the Materials Science & Technology 2014 conference in Pittsburgh, this week, staff scientists and metal 3D printing lead at ORNL’s Manufacturing Demonstration Facility, Ryan Dehoff, announced that the national lab has gained the ability to control the structure and properties of metal 3D prints at the microscopic scale.…
