Small temperature shifts, big quality gains: Manchester maps the defect physics of molten metal deposition

A few degrees at the nozzle can decide whether a 3D printed aluminum part comes out sound or riddled with pores. That is the central finding of a new study from The University of Manchester, published in Materials & Design, which pins down how the thermal conditions of molten metal deposition (MMD) govern defects and…
