AI optimises NASA alloy 3D printing in just 40 experiments instead of 100 million

Scientists used artificial intelligence to optimise 3D printer settings for a specialised NASA-developed alloy, completing the task in just 40 experiments rather than testing over 100 million parameter combinations manually. The AI-driven approach found a cheaper and effective printing method dramatically faster than traditional trial-and-error. The breakthrough could accelerate and reduce the cost of advanced 3D printing significantly.
