ORNL 3D prints DesignMiami pavilions
Artfully exploring bioderived composites
New York-based SHoP Architects engaged Oak Ridge National Laboratory to 3D print large-scale components for two pavilions to be installed on the plaza outside the DesignMiami exposition in Florida. Researchers at the lab expect the project undertaken this fall will offer valuable insight into the use of bioderived material to create large structures.

3D Printed Magnets Outperform Traditional
Findings now available online
Researchers at ORNL have demonstrated that permanent magnets produced by additive manufacturing can outperform bonded magnets made using traditional techniques while conserving critical materials. Scientists fabricated neodymium-iron-boron bonded magnets at DOE’s Manufacturing Demonstration Facility at ORNL using the BAAM machine. The result, published in Scientific Reports, was a product with comparable or better magnetic, mechanical, and microstructural properties than bonded magnets made using traditional injection molding with the same composition.
