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 ...

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 ...

Multi-laser metal printing and AI process optimization accelerate industrial additive manufacturing adoption. As demand grows ...

Military demands for 3D printing are sharply increasing across all domains, with potential to change not only logistics but ...

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 ...

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 ...

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], ...

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 ...

Metal additive manufacturing (AM), widely regarded as a revolution in modern manufacturing for its ability to produce ...

One broken screw can derail an entire manufacturing process. Run out of spares and you face a crisis if your supplier overseas needs six weeks to deliver new screws. However, if you have a metal 3D ...

Every now and then we’ll see a 3D printer that can print an entire house out of concrete or print an entire rocket out of metal. But usually, for our budget-friendly hobbyist needs, most of our 3D ...
