Certification of Standard Reference Material 1474c, a Polyethylene Resin

May 14, 2026
Author(s)
Kalman Migler, Nathanael Heckert, Suzanne Thornton
The melt flow rate of Standard Reference Material (SRM) 1474c, a linear polyethylene (narrow MWD ethylene-hexene copolymer) resin, was determined to be 5.04 g/10 min at 190 °C under a load of 2.16 kg using the ASTM Method D 1238-23a. The average is a

Ultra-High Speed Printing Regime in Laser Powder Bed Fusion of Highly Reflective Metals

April 5, 2026
Author(s)
Natalya Kublik, Laura Duenas Gonzalez, David Deisenroth, zhengtao gan, Bruno Azeredo
Additive manufacturing of highly reflective metals, such as copper and aluminum, often entail excessive energy losses, especially in laser powder bed fusion (LPBF). To compensate for reflected losses, high powered lasers and low scan speeds (i.e., ≤ 0.8 m

February 23, 2026
Author(s)
Ananya Nandy, Ashley Hartwell, Katherine Morris
Circular practices (e.g., extending product/component life and recovering end-of-life products) can divert products from waste streams, creating alternative material sources and resilient production systems. Recently developed design guidelines and

An Improved Robotic Workcell for Operational Technology (OT) Research

December 18, 2025
Author(s)
Timothy Zimmerman, Michael Pease, Michael Dawson
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has constructed a discrete manufacturing workcell to support its operational technology (OT) and critical infrastructure research. This work is an improvement on the "Collaborative Robotics Testbed"
