Researchers have built a machine that melts aluminum, keeps the molten metal in a container and then feeds it through a nozzle for rapid 3D printing of components MIT Self-Assembly Lab View 4 Images ...

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 ...

As a result, they have successfully developed a metal 3D printing pen technology that can continuously print metal in a three-dimensional space with freedom.

3D printing in space poses challenges, as many methods rely on gravity to position materials during the printing process. This is because when creating metal structures, molten metal is often used ...

Now anyone can learn different methods of 3D metal printing by just using their phone, and these professors mean anybody. "One area where 3D printing is finding a space is more in the artistic scene.

To say that it’s rocky out in the metal 3D printing world may be a bit of an understatement. Almost a decade ago, Desktop Metal was one of the early darlings in accessible 3D printing in metal ...

Platinum jewelry designs 3D printed by Legor on a Desktop Metal Production System P-1 are slated to be part of a multi-material, multi-customer jewelry display featured by Desktop Metal at Rapid ...

Last week, Stratasys announced plans to merge with Desktop Metal, and now another industry bigwig is getting in on the action. 3D Systems marked the occasion by announcing its own unsolicited bid ...

First metal 3D printing in space. In an echo of Neil Armstrong’s famous declaration as he stepped onto the moon in July 1969, the European Space Agency this week described the first instance of laser ...

Unlike many 3D printing enthusiasts, [SunShine] works with metal printers of the laser powder bed type. His expectations for his parts are thus very high, and he aimed to create check valves that ...
