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 ...
At RAPID + TCT 2026 this year, Mastrex is tackling one of the biggest barriers in metal additive manufacturing: cost. While ...
Students at ETH Zurich have developed a multi-metal 3D printing process that can produce rocket engine components in days rather than the months required by traditional manufacturing. The technique, ...
Modern 3d printer producing a new prototype model with melted material in an engineering laboratory - Iloliloli/Getty Images 3D printing has become one of the most efficient and affordable ways of ...
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 ...
Welding is typically used to join two parts together, whether those parts be metal or plastic. There are various styles of welding, but we won’t go into those here. Casting is the act of pouring a ...
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 ...
Nickel aluminum bronze (NAB) is a critical metal for naval propulsion systems, but making parts with this material is slow ...
At this point, it’s safe to say the novelty of desktop 3D printing has worn off. The community has largely come to terms with the limitations of extruded plastics, and while we still vehemently ...
The 3D printing industry is in the midst of its biggest shakeup yet in the form of a battle over the sector’s most valuable company. After 3D printer manufacturer Stratasys SSYS announced its intent ...
3D printing, also known as additive manufacturing (AM,) has evolved in leaps and bounds in recent decades to become an exciting emerging manufacturing technology in multiple industries. This article ...
