That’s a lot of qualifications, but we’re pretty sure that you can’t accuse us of hyperbole in the title: this is one of the tightest little 3D printer builds we’ve ever seen. Add in the slightly ...

Aluminum extrusions are a boon for mechanical assemblies, but they require a stock of brackets and other hardware to be kept on hand. [mightynozzle] has decided to make things a little easier for ...

Aluminum is prized for being lightweight and strong, but at high temperatures it loses strength. This has limited its use in ...

Desktop Metal, a company dedicated to bring metal 3D printing to the next level, has launched two new systems to help it achieve its goal in style. Called the DM Studio and DM Production systems, the ...

3D printing with metals has been around for a while now, but — just like 3D printing as a whole — it’s only just starting to seep through from industrial applications to consumer-friendly ones. In ...

Methods Used in Aluminum 3D Printing Laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) is a method used to 3D print aluminum with a higher surface finish and high accuracy. This process is initiated by localized melting ...

Scientists 'break rules' to make 572°F aluminum for lighter, fuel-efficient engines Metallurgists have long treated iron in ...

Additive manufacturing leaders are focusing on defense, helping the U.S. military move from 'futuristic visions' to ...

You also can 3D-print tools when teaching new operators, or in situations where manufacturing speed or safety matters more ...

Metal 3D printing has long promised aerospace-grade parts at desktop scale, but titanium has stubbornly resisted that vision. A new approach called cold metal fusion is changing that equation, turning ...

Researchers have come up with a 3D printing method using liquid metal that's claimed to produce structures at least 10 times faster than existing metal additive manufacturing processes, though it does ...

We've been caught in Lund University professor Olaf Diegel's creative web ever since first covering the 3D-printed Spider electric guitar back in 2012. Since then, he's kitted out a live rock band and ...
