Few things are more hardcore than 3D-printing metal. We can think of just two off the top of our head: Pressure cookers and cave diving. That’s about it. The point is, 3D-printing metal is really cool ...

Rocket engineering is shifting from painstaking machining and welding to a world where engines and tanks emerge from printers ...

Aluminum is prized for being lightweight and strong, but at high temperatures it loses strength. This has limited its use in ...

As for materials, the printer can use over 200 alloys, and works with the same metal powders that are used for metal injection moulding. The quality of the parts is comparable to injection moulding as ...

Technology in 3D printing is advancing and one day could rival traditional manufacturing techniques, according to a local expert in the field. Howard Kuhn, a University of Pittsburgh adjunct professor ...

3D printing has been around for longer than most people think - the first 3D print was made in 1981 by Hideo Kodama. But 3D printing has come a long way since then, with prints being made at ...

When you think about 3-D printing, chances are you think of little plastic doodads created by desktop devices like those made by MakerBot. Computing and printer giant HP wants you to think about metal ...

Are you planning on producing metal parts? If this is the case, there are a couple of machining processes you could potentially employ. Requesting a CNC machining quote is a great example of this, but ...

[Hyna] has spent seven years working with electron microscopes and five years with 3D printers. Now the goal is to combine expertise from both realms into a metal 3D printer based on electron-beam ...

Two new X1 25Pro® binder jet printers now support dedicated production of 17-4PH and 316L stainless steel parts for industrial customers and service bureaus ExOne will continue offering the company’s ...

Metal 3D printing has long promised aerospace-grade parts at desktop scale, but titanium has stubbornly resisted that vision.

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 ...
