3D Printing could be the technology that could alleviate global supply chain issues. Here's how.

A research team has found that island scanning, a printing scheme commonly used to prevent stresses from degrading or destroying 3D-printed metal parts, may not be a cure after ...

These Ex-SpaceXers Want to Transform 3-D Metal Printing The startup Freeform just raised $14 million to advance its innovative 3D printing system.

A new breed of low-cost, desktop 3D printers that print metal parts from easy-to-use metal filament may ease supply chain woes.

Printing metal is also expensive, slow, and energy intensive. Most important, printed objects can’t match the strength, density, and durability of traditionally produced metal.

While a machinist can put a beautiful finish on a piece of metal with their lathe or mill, to achieve the ultimate finish, a further set of polishing procedures are necessary. Successively finer ab… ...

With 3D Systems’ direct metal printing process, “we’re getting better properties than either conventional forgings or castings. We don’t have any of the porosity issues with the [printing ...

To address these issues, the research team employed the Directed Energy Deposition (DED) 3D printing process. This technique uses a laser to melt a metal wire, building a component layer by layer ...

Researchers at MIT have developed a rapid 3D-printing technique that uses liquid metal instead of polymer resin. This process allows for the complete creation of large aluminum parts, such as ...
