Metal AM in a Multipolar World, Part 2: How PBF and DED Could Change by 2035 - 3DPrint.com | Additive Manufacturing Business (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The first decades of PBF development were heavily shaped by machine capability: more power, more lasers, larger build volumes, better recoating, and improved process monitoring. These developments will continue, but the industrial question is changing. Once a platform can build the geometry, further value depends on whether it can repeatedly and economically deliver an accepted part. This will favor more specialized systems. A platform for high-volume titanium consumer products has different req
Metal AM in a Multipolar World: Resilience, Regional Production and a Changing Market - 3DPrint.com | Additive Manufacturing Business (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Technology develops in response to forces driving change. That was the starting point for a keynote I presented with Mikael Schuisky at AM Meetup 2026, held in Karlstad, Sweden, on 16–17 September. On Demand 2033, a Swedish initiative exploring how local, on-demand production of critical spare parts can strengthen industrial resilience, reduce supply-chain dependence, and support more sustainable production, organized the event. We used the history of metal additive manufacturing to examine whic
What I Learned from a Luleå Study on Absorbance in Metal AM - 3DPrint.com | Additive Manufacturing Business (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A few weeks ago, I visited Professor Alexander Kaplan at Luleå University of Technology. Originally from Austria, Kaplan has spent more than 20 years at the university working on the physics of lasers, welding, and additive manufacturing (AM). While reviewing his recent research, I came across a paper from his group on something that sounds almost too basic at first: powder absorbance. The paper, “Absorbance study of powder conditions for laser additive manufacturing,” measured the absorbance of
Why Beam Control Could Redefine the Future of EB-PBF - 3DPrint.com | Additive Manufacturing Business (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In Part 1, Ulf Lindhe examined how advances in beam control, point melting strategies, and process monitoring are changing the way engineers think about electron beam powder bed fusion (EB-PBF). In Part 2, he looks at what those developments mean for industrial users, difficult materials, qualification, and the future role of EB-PBF in metal additive manufacturing. Laser Powder Bed Fusion (L-PBF) deserves respect. It is advancing fast, and many of its recent advances are impressive. Multi-laser
The Next Phase of EB-PBF Will Be Defined by Beam Control - 3DPrint.com | Additive Manufacturing Business (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The bar for metal additive manufacturing has moved. Early on, the question was often simple: Can the machine print the material and produce a dense part? That still matters, but it is no longer enough. You can see this across metal AM. Laser powder bed fusion continues to advance quickly. More lasers, higher power, beam shaping, larger machines, better monitoring, and increased automation are pushing L-PBF further into production. Recent major events like Formnext, TCT Asia, AMUG, and RAPID + TC
