SmartScan 2.0: Teaching Lasers to Think — How Coupled Thermomechanical Optimization Cuts Residual Stress by 69% in LPBF

University of Michigan engineers upgrade their intelligent scanning framework from thermal-only to coupled thermoelastic — delivering the largest residual stress reductions yet demonstrated for scan sequence...

Learning from Steel: How Trace Sulphur Micro-Additions Transform the Machinability of Additively Manufactured Ti–6Al–4V

Borrowing the free-machining principle from ferrous metallurgy, researchers demonstrate that less than 300 ppm of sulphur — delivered in-situ during wire-based DED — triples tool life...
