What do you get when you combine additive and subtractive manufacturing? No, it’s not a math problem that adds up to zero, but rather an impressive-looking hybrid computer-controlled milling machine ...

Today in the Department of Overkill Department we present students from the University of Delft who have built a metal printer using a basic Prusa 3D printer – essentially a hobbyist printer – and a ...

Back in June of 2015, we heard about how Dutch 3D-printing firm MX3D was planning on printing a steel footbridge that would go across Amsterdam's Oudezijds Achterburgwal canal. Well, construction of ...

For the past three years, the Dutch 3D-printing company MX3D has been working to build what is possibly the world’s coolest steel footbridge. Designed to stretch across Amsterdam’s Oudezijds ...

The combination of a carbon nanotube composite coating and microwave-based welding produces stronger 3D-printed parts than current methods, according to a doctoral student in the Department of ...
