The new uses for 3D printing technology are jet engines and aircraft parts. The thing that makes material sometimes weak in 3D printing is that the air is making bubbles in structure. Metal-based 3D printing is a similar thing to other metal castings. In that process, the system operators must avoid oxygen slips in the 3D printing. Normally air is the thing that makes bubbles and oxides in the layer.
So that's why the 3D printer should operate in the vacuum chamber that is removing the air from the system and denies oxidation. When the 3D printer is making merchandise. that system is making things by welding them layer by layer. So the product looks like a croissant that is made by using metals or carbon fiber.
The problem is that when the gasses like air or oxygen slips between those layers it causes bubbles and oxidation. That slag material is making the discontinuity in the merchandise. And this is the reason why the gas must remove around the working area. The metal-based 3D printer is a modified MIG welding machine. There is also possible to connect the laser system to that 3D printing system. The laser measures the dimensions of the parts. And the laser can also be used for finishing those parts.
The developing technology allows for the creation of more qualified machines and machine parts. 3D printer technology can use to make car engines, like bocks and pistons, other machine parts, turbines, and even cannons for military use. The only thing that limits the system is the operating temperature. The high-temperature systems can make the system operate with stronger metals like steel, titanium, and chrome.
The 3D printer technology is developed in NASA and other space agencies. That kind of system is more flexible than carrying some spare parts with them. The 3D printer systems can also use to fix holes in the body of spacecraft. So they are extremely powerful systems in space and other technical industries.
The metal-based 3D printing technology allows making the gun parts and guns. The 3D printer systems are also used to make parts for high-stress points in super- and hypersonic aircraft. The 3D printer systems can combine with CAD programs. And they can turn to ultimate CAD/CAM (Computer-Aided Design/Computer-Aided Manufacturing).
