WPI Research Led by Diran Apelian Featured in Computerworld
A research collaboration between WPI, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and Viridis 3D LLC is featured in a Computerworld article: Researcher works to make 3D-printed metals stronger, customizable. The research explores the use of semi-solid metals, instead of powdered metals, in additive manufacturing. The intent behind the work is to give manufacturers more metals to work with and ultimately create 3D-printed products that are stronger and longer lasting. The research will have profound impact on the creation of specialized parts for medical devices, as well as automobiles and aeronautics.
