Researchers at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory are implementing a printing process that transitions from one metal or alloy to another in a single object. JPL scientists have been developing a technique to address this problem since 2010. An effort to improve the methods of combining parts made of different materials in NASA’s Mars Science Laboratory mission inspired a project to 3D print components with multiple alloy compositions.
