DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Imagine an additive manufacturing (AM) technology ca
 pable of 3D printing any design in any metal directly to a net shape bypas
 sing costly workshop post-processing. This once-distant goal has recently 
 materialized with Lithography Metal Manufacturing (LMM)\, a vat photopolym
 erization approach that employs digital light projection to 3D print metal
 -filled resin into “green” structures\, which are then debound and sin
 tered in a furnace. Leading AM pioneers\, such as Lithoz\, Admatec\, and A
 utodesk\, have spun off startups producing LMM printers whose accuracy and
  preciseness intriguing even Swiss watchmakers. Through collaboration with
  one such startup\, we successfully refined a now-industry-adopted LLM pri
 nter to fabricate steel components with a level of detailing\, surface fin
 ish\, and design complexity surpassing what powder bed systems can achieve
 . The entire end-to-end process\, from feedstock preparation to finished p
 arts\, fit within a compact 10m² lab space\, empowering small AM service 
 providers in further decentralizing the production landscape.\n\n\nBio: Dr
  Ruslan Melentiev is an incoming Assistant Professor in Smart Manufacturin
 g at the University of Nottingham’ Ningbo Campus\, who was trained in ma
 nufacturing technologies at KAUST (postdoc)\, University College Dublin (P
 hD)\, Aircraft Industry (R&D Engineer)\, Turin Polytechnic (Scholar)\, and
  Odesa Polytechnic (MSc). He has received three Erasmus Mundus awards\, Yo
 ung Inventor award\, and Science Foundation Ireland grant. He is the membe
 r of the International Academy of Engineering and Technology (AET)\, UK Me
 tamaterials Network\, and Saudi Arabian Society for Composite Materials. H
 e has first-authored over 30 publications and 8 patents\, commercialized w
 ith Saudi Basic Industries Corp\, TOYOTA Motors\, and several original equ
 ipment manufacturers in the US and India.
