This lecture will review recent research on process parameter optimization for the additive manufacturing of Fe-based metallic glasses and it will showcase strategies to precisely control thermal conditions during printing, minimizing defects and preserving the amorphous structure in complex geometry components. It will be shown how a combined approach including computational modeling and experimental validation efforts might yield tailored processing conditions that can enhance the manufacturability and performance of Fe-based metallic glass parts. A discussion on how these advancements bring AM a step closer to enabling high-efficiency electric motors with reduced energy losses will follow.
