Engineers at MIT have taken a metal that usually trades strength for lightness and pushed it into an entirely new class, creating a 3D printable aluminum alloy that is reported to be roughly five ...
Since this year, the 3D Metal Hub added MoldJet technology through a collaboration with Triton: printing for Gold, Platinum, ...
BMW Group brands 3D-print metal & plastic parts for some exclusive cars. Additive Manufacturing Campus near Munich features 50 metal & polymer printers. High cost of Laser Beam Melting means ...
Military demands for 3D printing are sharply increasing across all domains, with potential to change not only logistics but ...
Our current level of technological development does not allow us to build things in space. In the best-case scenario, we are capable of assembling stuff in orbit, but the actual build of structures ...
As a US Marine Corps combat engineer serving in Iraq, Jim Monroe used MacGyver-like hacks to repair mine rollers. Meant to detonate and clear mines, these heavy studded wheels are mounted on the ...
Methods Used in Aluminum 3D Printing Laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) is a method used to 3D print aluminum with a higher surface finish and high accuracy. This process is initiated by localized melting ...
Researchers have come up with a 3D printing method using liquid metal that's claimed to produce structures at least 10 times faster than existing metal additive manufacturing processes, though it does ...
The Apollo 13 moon mission didn't go as planned. After an explosion blew off part of the spacecraft, the astronauts spent a harrowing few days trying to get home. At one point, to keep the air ...
3D printing has become one of the most efficient and affordable ways of creating simple, specific items without having to purchase them. But while 3D printing can save you money on some things, it's ...
How do you use a 3D printer to bend metal? One way would be to take it to a machine shop and offer to trade the owner your printer for some time in their shop. A smarter way is to do like [Jaba 3D], ...
