Contact: Kathryn Ryan kryan@liebertpub.com<\/a> 914-740-2100 Mary Ann Liebert, Inc.\/Genetic Engineering News @LiebertOnline<\/p>\n New Rochelle, NY, November 6, 2014--Lower-cost 3D printers for the consumer market offer only a limited selection of plastic materials, while industrial additive manufacturing (AM) machines can print parts made of high-performance metals. The application of a novel process called Selective Inhibition Sintering (SIS) in a consumer-priced metal AM machine is described in an article in 3D Printing and Additive Manufacturing, a peer-reviewed journal from Mary Ann Liebert, Inc., publishers. The article is available free on the 3D Printing and Additive Manufacturing website until December 6, 2014. <\/p>\n Payman Torabi, Matthew Petros, and Behrokh Khoshnevis, University of Southern California, Los Angeles, explain this innovative process, present sample parts printed using the technology, and discuss the next steps in research and development in the article \"SIS -- The Process for Consumer Metal Additive Manufacturing\" The SIS process differs from traditional research in powder sintering, which focuses on enhancing sintering (a process of fusing materials using heat and pressure); instead, SIS prevents sintering in selected regions of each powder layer. <\/p>\n \"This technology uses a fundamentally new approach to 3D printing, one that could expand the reach of metal printing,\" says Editor-in-Chief Hod Lipson, PhD, Professor at Cornell University's Sibley School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, Ithaca, NY. <\/p>\n ### <\/p>\n About the Journal <\/p>\n 3D Printing and Additive Manufacturing is a peer-reviewed journal published quarterly online with Open Access options and in print. Spearheaded by Hod Lipson, PhD, Director of Cornell University's Creative Machines Lab at the Sibley School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, the Journal explores emerging challenges and opportunities ranging from new developments of processes and materials, to new simulation and design tools, and informative applications and case studies. Spanning a broad array of disciplines focusing on novel 3D printing and rapid prototyping technologies, policies, and innovations, the Journal brings together the community to address the challenges and discover new breakthroughs and trends living within this groundbreaking technology. Tables of content and a sample issue may be viewed on the 3D Printing and Additive Manufacturing (http:\/\/www.liebertpub.com\/3dp<\/a>) website. <\/p>\n About the Publisher <\/p>\n <\/p>\n See the original post here: PUBLIC RELEASE DATE: 6-Nov-2014 Contact: Kathryn Ryan kryan@liebertpub.com<\/a> 914-740-2100 Mary Ann Liebert, Inc.\/Genetic Engineering News @LiebertOnline New Rochelle, NY, November 6, 2014--Lower-cost 3D printers for the consumer market offer only a limited selection of plastic materials, while industrial additive manufacturing (AM) machines can print parts made of high-performance metals.
