The latest data from Wohlers Associates, Powered by ASTM reveals interesting insights into the global adoption of Additive Manufacturing (AM) systems in 2023. As we can see from the comparison of GDP and industrial AM system installations, there are some clear leaders in the field. Key Takeaways: Germany and Japan are leading the way, showcasing a high ratio of AM installations relative to their GDP. South Korea and Italy also stand out, emphasizing the strong adoption of AM technology in their industrial sectors. On the other hand, countries like the United States and China, despite their large GDPs, show a relatively lower ratio of installations to GDP. This trend highlights that while AM technology is mature, the industry itself is still evolving. We can expect more shifts in this landscape in the coming years, with some companies possibly exiting the market, much like we have seen in other industries. What are your thoughts on these trends? How do you see the future of AM adoption evolving globally? 🤔 #AdditiveManufacturing #3DPrinting #Industry40 #Innovation #WohlersAssociates

Formidable Challenges in #Additive #Manufacturing of Solid #Oxide #Electrolyzers (SOECs) and Solid Oxide #Fuel #Cells (SOFCs) for #Electrolytic #Hydrogen Economy toward Global #Decarbonization by Majid Minary-Jolandan et al. Ceramics 2022, 5(4), 761-779; https://lnkd.in/dUuVqzu8 Current number of article views/citations: 4030/18 Abstract Solid oxide electrolysis cells (SOECs) and solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) are the leading high-temperature devices to realize the global “Hydrogen Economy”. These devices are inherently multi-material (ceramic and cermets). They have multi-scale, multilayer configurations (a few microns to hundreds of microns) and different morphology (porosity and densification) requirements for each layer. Adjacent layers should exhibit chemical and thermal compatibility and high-temperature mechanical stability. Added to that is the need to stack many cells to produce reasonable power. The most critical barriers to widespread global adoption of these devices have been their high cost and issues with their reliability and durability. Given their complex structure and stringent requirements, additive manufacturing (AM) has been proposed as a possible technological path to enable the low-cost production of durable devices to achieve economies of scale. However, currently, there is no single AM technology capable of 3D printing these devices at the complete cell level or, even more difficult, at the stack level. This article provides an overview of challenges that must be overcome for AM to be a viable path for the manufacturing of SOECs and SOFCs. A list of recommendations is provided to facilitate such efforts.

Additive Manufacturing Industry The future of Additive Manufacturing depends on new innovative post-process procedures that will produce components in polymers and metals that meet specific specification needs in materials, and mechanical performance requirements in consumer products and industrial components in Aerospace, Medical Instruments, auto industries, and many others. The need for new procedures is more important than ever as they will establish new standards for the Additive Industry as implemented achieving certification per industrial application and advancement into mainstream manufacturing. The photo below is an example of Mechanical Atom Migration, which is performed by reverse engineering of conventional finishing methods. These new procedures through timed exposure testing will produce the needed tailoring or migration of the material atoms within the component's material properties to suit the application and certification needs. The accomplishments achieved through these new procedures include effective heat treatment through porosity-free components, tensile strength needs per application, wear-resistant surfaces, removal of bacteria issues in sterilization needs in medical instruments, surface quality needs for fluid and air applications, and high coating/plating percentage turnout. Improvement of material properties in Additive Manufactured components opens the door to all secondary processes for advancement and application certification requirements plus industrialization to mass production.
