An Empa-led team densified material-extrusion-printed AA6061 to 97.9% relative density using solvent-free wick debinding and an extended sintering hold. Mechanical properties were not evaluated, so the result remains a process-development study.
A Beijing Institute of Technology-led team reports in Nature that pulsed alternating heat inputs enabled meter-scale Ti-6Al-4V single crystals by additive manufacturing. The peer-reviewed result should be distinguished from the related startup's claims about scaling the process further.
