Owners of 3D printers that would like to be able to create 3D objects with a more metallic finish may be interested in a new metallic 3D printing filament that has been created called Filamet. The new ...

Over the past few years many advancements have been made in the creation of 3D printer filament, and ColorFabb has been pushing the boundaries of what can be accomplished. Their latest 3D printing ...

Most 3D printers print layers over and over again until a full object takes shape. But a whole new approach to 3D printing is capable of creating free-form metal objects and designs that emerge ...

We’re far beyond the heyday of the RepRap project, and the Hackaday tip line isn’t seeing multiple Kickstarters for 3D printers every week. In a way, this is a bit of a loss. The rapid evolution of ...

Rocket engines are great for producing thrust from fire and fury, but they’re also difficult to make. They require high-strength materials that can withstand the high temperatures involved. [Integza], ...

Researchers at Harvard's Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering and the John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) have created a 3D printer that's capable of ...

One broken screw can derail an entire manufacturing process. Run out of spares and you face a crisis if your supplier overseas needs six weeks to deliver new screws. However, if you have a metal 3D ...

Metal 3D printing can produce the most intricate rocket parts, using combustion-resistant material. While 3D printing isn't new, how has the technology advanced to face the more extreme conditions of ...

DLR has demonstrated the use of a 19.5-kHz sonotrode (slender silver cylinder at center of system above) to consolidate fibers impregnated with melted thermoplastic from pellets (storage and melting ...
