Researchers faced more than 100 million possible ways to 3D-print a NASA rocket alloy; AI picked just 40 experiments and found 6 that worked, including the first successful print at only 500 watts
Washington State University researchers used artificial intelligence (AI) to identify a faster, less costly way to 3D print a high-performance metal alloy. This has avoided the need to manually test more than 100 million possible printing configurations.The advance could eventually make the alloy, widely used in aerospace applications and potentially useful in other industries, printable…
