Metal additive manufactured clubs aren’t new, but until now they have been limited to protypes. The Cobra LIMIT 3D iron set represents a technology shift in iron construction by creating weight reduction that combines the look and feel of a blade-style club with the MOI of a larger clubface. The feel component is key. Through the AM process, the engineers are able to tune acoustics without internal polymers while also creating a stable head at impact.

Veterinarians and gorilla keepers at the Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden outfitted Gladys, an 11-year old gorilla, with the world’s first 3D-printed titanium cast, made by GE Additive.

Gladys was pretty hard on her traditional cast, resulting in a more robust solution. “We’re hoping that this one will be more gorilla proof,” said Dr. Mike Wenninger, Cincinnati Zoo’s director of animal health. It should be as it is made of the same titanium material that was used for the screws and plates that repaired her fractured arm.

A team of Rice University students has developed a cold spray metal additive manufacturing device that relies on pressure and velocity rather than temperature to create a metal part. The project won an Excellence in Capstone Engineering Award and first place in the Willy Revolution Award for Outstanding Innovation at the annual Huff OEDK Engineering Design Showcase

 Drs. Enrique J. Lavernia and Julie M. Schoenung, professors in the Department of Materials Science & Engineering, Texas A&M University, have joined forces to write “Metallic Powders for Additive Manufacturing: Science and Applications,” published by Wiley, Inc.
