This study utilized Fe, Co, Ni elemental powders alongside GH3230 pre-alloyed powder as raw materials, employing high-throughput additive manufacturing based on laser powder bed fusion in situ to alloying technology to fabricate the bulk samples library for GH3230 superalloy efficiently. A quantitative identification algorithm for detecting crack and hole defects in additive manufacturing samples was developed. The primary focus was to analyze the composition variations in specimens at varying Fe, Co, and Ni elemental compositions and their impact on crack formation. Experimental results demonstrated that increased laser power improved element distribution uniformity but it proved to be not significantly effective in reducing crack defects. Moreover, augmented Fe and Co alloying content could not eliminate these defects. However, elevated Ni content led to a decrease in the alloy's solidification cracking index and carbide reduction in solidification products. Notably, a significant reduction in cracks was observed when the Ni content of the alloy reached 63 wt.%, and these defects were nearly eliminated at 67 wt.% Ni content.

Emerging techniques of additive manufacturing, such as vat-based three-dimensional (3D) bioprinting, offer novel routes to prepare personalized scaffolds of complex geometries. However, there is a need to develop bioinks suitable for clinical translation. This study explored the potential of bacterial-sourced methacrylate levan (LeMA) as a bioink for the digital light processing (DLP) 3D bioprinting of bone tissue scaffolds.

Electronic skin is widely employed in multiple applications such as health monitoring, robot tactile perception, and bionic prosthetics. In this study, we fabricated millimeter-scale electronic skin featuring compact sensing units using the Boston Micro Fabrication S130 (a high-precision additive manufacturing device) and the template removal method. We used a gallium-based liquid metal and achieved an inner channel diameter of 0.

In semiconductor inspection equipment, a chuck used to hold a wafer is equipped with a cooling or heating system for temperature uniformity across the surface of the wafer. Surface temperature uniformity is important for increasing semiconductor inspection speed. Triply periodic minimal surfaces (TPMSs) are proposed to enhance temperature uniformity.

This work investigated the mechanical and catalytic degradation properties of FeMnCoCr-based high-entropy alloys (HEAs) with diverse compositions and porous structures fabricated via selective laser melting (SLM) additive manufacturing for wastewater treatment applications. The effects of Mn content (0, 30 at%, and 50 at%) and topological structures (gyroid, diamond, and sea urchin-inspired shell) on the compression properties and catalytic efficiency of the FeMnCoCr HEAs were discussed. The results indicated that an increase in the Mn content led to a phase structure transition that optimized mechanical properties and catalytic activities.

The metastable β-Ti21S alloy exhibits a lower elastic modulus than Ti-6Al-4V ELI while maintaining high mechanical strength and ductility. To address stress shielding, this study explores the integration of lattice structures within prosthetics, which is made possible through additive manufacturing. Continuous adhesion between the implant and bone is essential; therefore, auxetic bow-tie structures with a negative Poisson's ratio are proposed for regions under tensile stress, while Triply Periodic Minimal Surface (TPMS) structures with a positive Poisson's ratio are recommended for areas under compressive stress.
