Researchers developed a 3D printing-based method to tailor metal alloys by composition and structure, creating stronger, ...

Caltech scientists have developed a method to create metallic objects of a precisely specified shape and composition, giving ...

The smallest object possible, 25 nanometers, is equivalent to only 195 copper atoms in a row. Compared to 3D printing metal powders, which can achieve 100-micrometer resolutions, this method can ...

RIT’s AMPrint Center receives NYS renewal contract to advance 3D print technology and acquires 'fastest' printer plus ...

“3D printing has revolutionized manufacturing, but we’re not aware of previous technologies that allowed you to print 3D metal objects at room temperature in a single step,” says NC State ...

If you're 3D-printing metal parts for use in aircraft or other critical systems, then those parts had better not be defective. A new system allows such items to be checked for structural flaws ...

ESA scientists have successfully demonstrated 3D printing of a metal part in space for the first time. 3D printing in space poses challenges, as many methods rely on gravity to position materials ...

While the ISS has several 3D printers using plastic material, metal printing presents different challenges, requiring a laser to reach the melting point of stainless steel (1,400 degrees Celsius ...

If you wanted to 3D-print an object that was magnetic in some areas only, you'd have to print two items out of different metals, then join them. A new technique, however, allows for the printing ...

A new start-up aims to make 3D printing of metal objects something that can be done at scale. If this pans out, US supply chains could could be near shored and could become far more resilient.

The Challenges of 3D Printing Metal in Microgravity While 3D printing has been used in space before, it has largely been limited to producing objects from plastic filaments. Although plastic parts ...
