The most common 3D printers we currently read or hear about print with plastic in some form. Due to its less-durable reputation, compared to metal, the perception exists that the outcome, the printed ...

We have no doubt that hundreds of times a day a hacker is watching a 3D printer spew hot plastic and fantasizes about being able to print directly using metal. While metal printers are more common ...

It’s tough times for 3D-printing. Stratasys got burned on Makerbot, trustful backers got burned on the Peachy Printer meltdown, I burned my finger on a brand new hotend just yesterday, and that’s only ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) The ability to pattern materials into arbitrary three-dimensional (3D) microstructures is important for electronics, microfluidic networks, tissue engineering scaffolds, photonic ...

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 ...

3-D printing is an unstoppable force. Not too long ago, the printing speed and limited output of 3-D printers made them suitable only for rapid prototyping. But in the coming years, 3-D printers will ...

Researchers used Argonne's Advanced Photon Source to capture how the microstructure of metals evolves in real time during 3D ...

Germany-based companies, 3D-Micromac AG, a provider of laser micromachining systems, and EOS GmbH, an e-Manufacturing group, have teamed up to form a new organization dubbed 3D MicroPrint GmbH. The ...

Japanese startup Elephantech is pioneering an innovative manufacturing technology that could significantly reduce the environmental impact of producing Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs). If successful, ...
