Two-year contract award for Large-format Metal 3D Printer Advanced Technology DemonstratorSupports development of large-scale industrial metal AM ...

However, 3D printing metal in microgravity presents a series of challenges that are not encountered on Earth, where gravity helps position materials during the printing process.

Additionally, 3D printing metal still has many variables and controls that inhibit the process from being user-friendly. With a relatively large investment and the need for knowledge, design ...

A new breed of low-cost, desktop 3D printers that print metal parts from easy-to-use metal filament may ease supply chain woes.

3D Metal Printing Misconceptions 3D metal printing has gained a false reputation as a catch-all for designs that cannot be turned into finished products by other manufacturing processes and ...

In an experiment that sounds about as safe as bobbing for fries, ESA carried out the first-ever 3D metal printing in space aboard the International Space Station (ISS). Built with Airbus, the ...

Current 3D printers employ either plastic or metal only, and the conventional method to coat 3D plastic structures with metal is not environment-friendly and yields poor results. Now, scientists ...

3D printing unicorn Desktop Metal will list on the NYSE in a merger with cable exec Leo Hindery's special-purpose acquisition company Trine Acquisition Corp. that will give it $575 million in cash ...

I had a great interview with a company doing actual 3D printing in metal using a nozzle-based delivery often called cladding. There’s a demo video of powder layer printing using lasers.

Why Metal 3D Printing is Breakthrough Tech for 2018 Metal 3D printing is cheaper, safer and faster so let’s see if it’s finally ready to be the disruptive technology we need.

Direct metal 3D printing is transitioning from the experimental research phase to production, and it’s interesting to see how and why large industries, well, disrupt themselves.
