Despite widespread and growing popularity, it’s important to realize that additive manufacturing (AM) is still a young technology—and that most of its potential remains untapped. Carolyn Seepersad spends her days exploring such possibilities.
A mechanical engineering professor at The University of Texas (UT) at Austin, Seepersad is taking this decades-old technology in novel directions while attempting to solve some of its thorniest problems. Reactive extrusion.
Volumetric powder-bed fusion. Large-scale, high-velocity stereolithography. These are just a few of the AM technologies that Seepersad, her students, and fellow faculty members are developing at the…
