AFRL pushes boundaries in metals printing with new research
                Depicted is a 3-dimensional reconstruction of an end-of-track defect observed in processing of titanium. The remnant depression visible on the top surface can lead to defects when subsequent layers are deposited. Also visible are different microstructures in the substrate, heat affected zone, and deposited material. (Courtesy illustration)
