Debinding and sintering are the make-or-break stages of 3D printing with metal powder filament. With a small, tabletop 3D ...
Students at ETH Zurich have developed a multi-metal 3D printing process that can produce rocket engine components in days ...
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 ...
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 ...
To overcome the difficulties of 3D printing metal in such a constricted environment, engineers at Airbus, who worked with experts at the University of Cranfield and CNES, France’s space agency, ...
With increased confidence in 3D printing, more design engineers are looking to see where new processes could add a competitive edge. While cost associated with 3D printing is reducing, metal printing ...
While many designers and engineers find success with 3D-printing parts in plastic for prototyping and low-volume production, producing parts out of metal using similar technology has recently led to ...
[Billy Wu] has been writing for a few years about electrochemical 3D printing systems that can handle metal. He’s recently produced a video that you can see below about the process. Usually, printing ...
The development of cheaper, more powerful lasers has always been a cause for excitement among hackers, and fiber lasers are no exception. One of the newer tools they’ve enabled is the laser welder, ...
Your 3D printer isn't as durable as you'd think.
