• Researchers Develop New Design Method for 3D Printed Nitinol Structures February 20
Additional Context
Researchers from IMDEA Materials Institute and the Technical University of Madrid have developed a design-focused approach to improve the performance of 3D-printed nitinol structures. Their study, published in Virtual and Physical Prototyping, demonstrates how woven, fabric-like architectures can enhance the deformability of nickel-titanium alloys manufactured through additive processes.
Traditional 3D printing of nitinol has faced significant limitations compared to conventional manufacturing
