The technique ‘uses 3D printing steps’ to make customised metal parts with different properties, such as having some regions of the metal stronger than others, or having differing levels of corrosion resistance in the same metal.

Scientists from have developed a new method that can make customised 3D-printed metal parts containing different properties – such as having some regions of the metal stronger than others. The new technique from the researchers – led by Nanyang Technological University, Singapore and University of Cambridge – uses 3D-printing steps. Unlike traditional metal manufacturing processes, it does not require additional raw materials, mechanical treatment or drastic machining processes to achieve a similar effect, thus potentially helping to reduce manufacturing costs.
