…It is currently configured to print in stainless steel, cobalt chrome and nickel alloy. It is also an open platform, so researchers can have complete control over the system. “Commercial systems are a little bit ‘black box,’” Lane said. “You can command a certain laser power and velocity, but you really don’t have control over every single microsecond of the process. With our system, we can control the speed and power of the laser at 100 kilohertz – that’s every 10 microseconds.” The Engineering Laboratory will be responsible for running the tests; PML will supply sensors to measure the AM…
