Many of today's metal-printing systems use lasers to heat and melt powdered metal feedstocks. Rosotics founder and CEO Christian LaRosa says there are a number of problems inherent in laser systems.

3D printing has become a dominant force around the world. The global market for 3D printing products and services was valued at around $12.6 B in 2020, according to Statista.

Using laser-based 3D printing, NIST researchers made four metal bridges (samples). Lasers used a different printing pattern for each bridge (rows a-d). They measured the tension (red) and ...

So, 3-D metal printing may finally be coming of age—it’s also been a key part of the plans of commercial space startup Relativity Space, which at one point planned to 3-D-print entire rocket ...

The start-up, whose name is pronounced “speed 3D,” develops 3D-printing technology for metal. “If we’d had a metal 3D printer, we could just print those pins and repair our mine rollers ...

Prices range from $6,000 to $25,000, for these smaller 3D printers, which is a stark contrast to the $250,000 on the other end of the metal 3D printer spectrum.

Desktop Metal says its design for a 3D metal printer is 100 times faster and up to 20 times less expensive than current methods. The Desktop Metal printers don't need a supply of hazardous, loose ...

While metal printers are more common than ever, they are still out of reach for most people printing as a hobby. But as Mr. Spock once observed: “…you may find that having is not so pleasing a ...
