The field of materials analysis has been rapidly changing in recent years. The continued development and application of technologies like optical emission spectroscopy (OES), X-ray fluorescence (XRF) and laser induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) is making it easier for companies across a whole range of industries. Whether it’s for quality assurance/quality control processes (QA/QC), material sorting,…
The ability to form metal or plastic components layer by layer means that complex shapes with tight tolerances can be easily produced rather than using a subtractive method where material is removed from a larger part like carving an item from a block. Another benefit of additive manufacturing is that it’s easy and cheap to make a prototype. You don’t have to create specific tools or set up a costly…
