Additive manufacturing can turn everyday magnetic material into alternatives for expansive rare-earth magnets. Engineers at the Amess Laboratory’s Critical Materials Institute used laser 3D metal ...

Magnetic materials play important roles in electrical products. These materials are usually manufactured by means of established production techniques and use of rare earth metals. Several research ...

In a paper published in Scientific Reports, scientists at Oak Ridge National Labs present 3D printed permanent isotropic magnets that use rare earth metals recycled from computer hard drives. The ...

There is virtually no limit to the items that can be produced with 3D-printing technology these days, and now researchers at the US Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) have ...

Scientists fabricated isotropic, near-net-shape, neodymium-iron-boron (NdFeB) bonded magnets at DOE’s Manufacturing Demonstration Facility at ORNL using the Big Area Additive Manufacturing (BAAM) ...

A simple working knowledge of magnets has long been satisfactory to appreciate their interactions. Magnets are made of metal or an alloy that has somehow been magnetized, and they have one north pole ...

Permanent magnets produced by additive manufacturing can outperform bonded magnets made using traditional techniques while conserving critical materials, new research indicates. Researchers at the ...

From wind turbines and electric motors to sensors and magnetic switching systems: permanent magnets are used in many different electrical applications. The production of these magnets usually involves ...
