Ultrasound can help make 3D-printed alloys stronger

Researchers have used sound vibrations to shake metal alloy grains into the tighter formation during 3D printing. A new study shows high-frequency sound waves can have a significant impact on the inner microstructure of 3D printed alloys, making them more consistent and stronger than those printed conventionally.Lead author and Ph.D.
