NIST Engineers a Smarter Laser Path to Solve Metal 3D Printing’s Mixing Problem

Metallurgy has always been about control. For centuries, getting metals to blend predictably was the difference between a reliable tool and a brittle failure. Today, researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) are tackling that challenge in a modern form: high-entropy alloys (HEAs), a class of materials developed over the last two…

3D Printed PLA Geometry Drives Structural Performance in Concrete Beams

A research team led by Dr. Muhammad Talha Junaid at the University of Sharjah tested cement mortar beams reinforced with FDM-printed PLA profiles. The study found that surface geometry was the dominant variable, with the best-performing configuration reaching nearly 80% of steel’s bending strength and matching its ductility. Concrete on its own handles compression well…
