Are you planning on producing metal parts? If this is the case, there are a couple of machining processes you could potentially employ. Requesting a CNC machining quote is a great example of this, but ...

A low-cost open-source 3D printer that makes metal parts has been designed by Joshua M. Pearce and his team at Michigan Technological University (MTU). Sigma Labs, known for its in-process control ...

A team of Penn State researchers has used a new 3D-printing method to produce a complex metal build that was once only possible with welding: fusing two metals together into a single structure. Using ...

[SunShine] has been working on 3D printed pumps and similar parts with an aim towards building smaller and more compact hydraulic systems. His latest effort involves printing working hydraulic check ...

Everyone wants to 3D print with metals, but it is a difficult task. You need high temperatures and metals with high thermal conductivity make the problem even worse. Researchers at Caltech have a way ...

Generally, 3D metal printers work by laying down a bed of metal alloy powder, then sintering it with an electron beam or a laser in a pattern based on a digital file. A second layer is automatically ...

Print any oddly shaped object with a 3D printer. Also called additive manufacturing or rapid prototyping, 3D printing has many advantages over the more traditional subtractive manufacturing methods, ...

Siemens Digital Industries Software is collaborating with the University of Michigan to take 3D printing education to the next level. They're offering a five-week online course that will provide an ...

Scientists at EPFL have reimagined 3D printing by turning simple hydrogels into tough metals and ceramics. Their process allows multiple infusions of metal salts that form dense, high-strength ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. Carolyn Schwaar is a tech journalist and editor at All3DP Magazine. Steven Camilleri, the co-founder of 3D printer maker Spee3D ...

3D printing is changing the way we make things, and by extension the thing that we make. But how exactly does it work, and how is it advancing? Share on Facebook (opens in a new window) Share on X ...
