The method, developed by a research team led by the University of Cambridge, allows structural modifications to be 'programmed' into metal alloys during 3D printing, fine-tuning their properties without the 'heating and beating' process that's been in use for thousands of years.
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.
