JPMA Announces Design Winners

  

The Japan Powder Metallurgy Association (JPMA) has released the winners of the 2023 PM part design competition. The JPMA Awards started in 1979 with a purpose to increase exposure of the technology.

Categories of the JPMA Awards are as follows:

  • New Products (New Design/New Materials/Process Development)
  • New Powders
  • Equipment Development

Since 2003, the Grand Prix award has been given to an exceptional product. The Effort Prize has been awarded to products that did not fit into a specific category.

This Moon Rover Wheel Could be 3D Printed on the Moon

Weight is everything. Every gram counts on launch day. But, what about reducing weight on launch day by additive manufacturing what you need on the Moon with its resources, such as lunar regolith? The lunar regolith is made up of rock chips, mineral fragments, impact and volcanic glasses, and agglutinates found on the Moon.

A New Approach to Fusion Power Plant Materials

MIT PhD student Alexander O’Brien is working to deliver the next generation of fusion devices through research on additive manufacturing of metal-ceramic composites. “After years of knowing I wanted to work in green energy, but not knowing what that looked like, I very quickly fell in love with nuclear engineering.”  

Caltech Develops Nanoscale Metal Additive Manufacturing


A nanoscale lattice prepared using a new technique developed by the lab of Julia R. Greer.

Last year, California Institute of Technology (Caltech), Pasadena, California, researchers revealed that they had developed a new fabrication technique for printing microsized metal parts containing features about as thick as three or four sheets of paper. Now, the team has reinvented the technique to allow for printing objects a thousand times smaller: 150 nanometers. These parts can be three-to-five-times stronger than similarly sized structures with more orderly atomic arrangements.
