NUST MISIS has Developed Strengthening Modifiers for 3D Printing Products
Published : May 15, 2026
NUST MISIS scientists have proposed a technology that can double the strength of composites obtained by 3D printing from aluminum powder, and advance the characteristics of these products to the quality of titanium alloys: titanium's strength is about six times higher than that of aluminum, but the density of titanium is 1.7 times higher.
The developed modifiers for 3D printing can be used in products for the aerospace industry.
The developed modifying-precursors, based on nitrides and aluminum oxides and obtained through combustion, have become the basis of the new composite. Currently, the team of developers is testing the prototypes with the help of new technology.
