The printer uses for raw material a variety of stainless steel we generally get in medical implants and water treatment. It's highly resistant to corrosion and has a melting point of about 1,400 ...

ExOne’s Metal 3D Printing Adoption Center, in continuous operation since 2005, has now printed more than 2 million parts. ExOne has recently added two new X1 25Pro metal printers to its facility ...

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.

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

Metal 3D printing will always be a niche within a niche, but for applications where even advanced engineering plastics like PEI and PEEK simply won’t do, he argues the community needs to have a ...

While the ISS has several 3D printers using plastic material, metal printing presents different challenges, requiring a laser to reach the melting point of stainless steel (1,400 degrees Celsius ...

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 ...

On Earth, current metal 3D printers are installed in a minimum 10-square-meter [108-sq-ft] laboratory. To create the prototype for the ISS, we had to shrink the printer to the size of a washing ...

That's basic 3D metal printing, but where the new technique differs is that the laser is used to alter the crystalline structure of the metal to form alternating layers of hard and ductile steel ...

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 ...

Of course, this modification isn’t 3D printing metal. It convers a 3D printer’s CNC capabilities to turn it into a machining tool that uses electrochemical machining (ECM).
