Steel is an alloy of iron and carbon and there are various steels with popular names with carbon content varying from 0.05% to 1.7%. Steels having only carbon as the additional element apart from iron are called plain carbon steels.
Steel is produced by oxidizing the impurities in molten pig iron and then adding the specified carbon which will give required combination of strength, ductility and hardness.
The processes used to produce steel are a) open hearth process b) the Bessemer Process and c) the electric furnace process. The finished molten steel is to poured into ingots in sizes suitable for used by rolling mills.
According to the World Steel Association, there are over 3,500 different grades of steel, encompassing unique physical, chemical, and environmental properties.
Dead Mild Steel
Dead mild steel contains carbon up to 0.1%. It is the softest and the most ductile material and possesses excellent machinability and weldability. It is rolled into sheet and is also available in bar form. It is used for rivets and solid drawn steel tubes.
2) Speed Printing
. Carbon3D’s “Continuous Liquid Interface Production” approach creates monolithic forms out a pool of polymer. And it happens to be 25 to 100 times faster than other printers on the market, with the potential, to be 1000 times faster.
3) Powerful Personal Applications
The world of biomedicine is where 3D printing technology has the greatest potential to significantly alter people’s lives for the better.
4) Prints in Space
The innovation of a new, primarily 3D printed, reusable rocket is exponentially delivering new opportunities in space travel, mining, and colonization.
5) On the Cheap
XYZ CEO, Simon Shen has plans to deliver 3D printers to every school in China.
6) Phone Printer
Jeng-Ywan Jeng, a professor of mechanical engineering and the dean of the engineering department at the National Taiwan University of Science and Technology, has invented a printer that uses light from a cell phone to polymerize liquid resin. Jeng’s dream is to have the phone make the scan and then use its light in the tiny printer to print the end product. https://www.asme.org/engineering-topics/articles/manufacturing-design/top-6-innovations-3d-printing
Adidas introducing shoes with midsoles made by 3D printing.
Adidas makes 400 million pairs.
Adidas's popular Boost cushioning shoe franchise was introduced in 2013 with 100,000 pairs made in the first year. The Boost shoe line has expanded to over 50 million pairs a year.
Adidas is planning to produce and sell by the end of 2018, 100,000 pairs of shoes with plastic midsoles made via a new 3D technology created by Silicon Valley startup Carbon. It is foressing potential to increase production to millions in the coming years.
It introduced, Futurecraft 4D — the first commercial release of new 3D shoes, at $300 a in select stores in New York and they were sold out in January. Potential demand were these shows can be cofirmed by the healthy premium at which they have been resold at sneaker auction site StockX.
Midsoles of Shoes - Adidas - Carbon 3D collaboration
To 3D print innovative lattice structures, adidas partnered with Carbon to develop a midsole that met the performance and comfort required by serious runners.
$125 million Cost Savings Due to Use of 3D Printing - Additive Manufacturing
Honeywell Federal Manufacturing & Technologies perhaps has the most obscene savings. As of FY 2018, they have printed more than 60,000 tooling fixtures for product testing and calculated $125 million in cost avoidance. Its customer is the Department of Energy’s Kansas City National Security Campus, which makes non-nuclear components for national defense systems.

Huge Hybrid Manufacturing Machine is Ready to Start 3D Printing Construction Parts and Structures
31 JAN 2019
The machine will be tested to manufacture demonstrator parts, such as large cantilever beam structures, airplane panels and wind turbine parts. The machine and the process technologies are expected provide a more productive solution for the hybrid manufacturing of large engineering parts and deliver a projected 20% reduction in time and cost expenditure, as well as a target 15% increase in productivity for high-volume additive manufacturing production. https://adsknews.autodesk.com/news/huge-hybrid-manufacturing-machine-ready-to-start-3d-printing-construction-parts
Prodways Rapid Additive Forging system

New Additive materials data added to e-Xstream engineering’s Digimat-AM Advanced Solver to Support Simulation
Solvay is adding 10% carbon fibre filled KetaSpire polyetheretherketone (PEEK) and neat Radel polyphenylsulfone (PPSU) to e-Xstream engineering’s latest release (2019.0) of Digimat-Additive Manufacturing (AM) software. KetaSpire PEEK AM filament data is already available for simulation on e-Xstream engineering’s Digimat-AM platform.
Digimat-AM allows customers to simulate the printing process and successfully predict the thermomechanical behaviour of 3D-printed designs in order to print right the first time.
The software offers highly accurate, predictive modelling data for Solvay’s AM filaments over a wide range of critical characteristics, including detailed warpage and residual stress, to help designers and engineers optimise the process and minimise part deformation before printing.
For highly demanding applications, Digimat further enables design validation by predicting the printed part performance (stiffness, strength, etc.) as a function of the material and the printing process parameters.
