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 ...

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 ...

Desktop Metal’s shift in applications from prototyping and tooling to high-volume production of end-use parts ostensibly ushers in the next wave of mass manufacturing technology. The metals additive ...

Now printers can make metal objects quickly and cheaply. While 3-D printing has been around for decades, it has remained largely in the domain of hobbyists and designers producing one-off prototypes.

In a move designed to expand access to affordable metal 3D printing for small- to medium-sized manufacturers and to decentralize additive manufacturing, Xact Metal has introduced new metal powders. In ...

[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 search for innovative implant materials in orthopedics has led to the exploration of advanced thermoplastics in the family of PAEK, a high performance thermoplastic. These materials have potential ...
