ORNL Continues Research Into Making Large Format Metal Parts by Combining AM and HIP

The article discusses Oak Ridge National Laboratory's (ORNL) research efforts to create large metal parts by combining additive manufacturing (AM) and hot isostatic pressing (HIP) technologies. By integrating these methods, ORNL aims to produce high-quality, large-scale metal components for various industries. The combination of AM and HIP processes allows for the creation of intricate designs and complex geometries that traditional manufacturing methods struggle to achieve. ORNL's continued exploration in this area could lead to advancements in the production of large metal parts with improved strength and performance.
