Another great day for composites additive manufacturing news I summarized everything from UNC Chapel Hill, Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT), and Vilnius University with University of Twente. Here's everything you need to know and how to make sense out of it: • UNC researchers developed a latent catalyst system that enables tough engineering polymers like Nylon-6 in vat photopolymerization — moving AM closer to higher-performance composite materials. • RIT validated an 8-nozzle molten metal jetting printhead that cuts print time by up to 79%, improving throughput for more automated and scalable metal AM processes. • Researchers from Vilnius University and University of Twente demonstrated high-resolution nano-printing of luminescent YAG:Ce³⁺ ceramic microstructures, opening new possibilities for functional features in composite parts. That's it for today's composites additive manufacturing news. I share the latest research every day, so follow me for more.
