While 3D printing has mostly involved plastic so far, future materials, including one harder than steel, could make a huge ...

Welding is typically used to join two parts together, whether those parts be metal or plastic. There are various styles of welding, but we won’t go into those here. Casting is the act of pouring a ...

Scientists based at Hiroshima University have devised a novel way of 3D printing with one of hardest engineering materials ...

In recent years, research interest in the 3D printing of metal patterns on plastic parts has grown exponentially, due to its high potential in the manufacturing of next-generation electronics. But ...

Harvard researchers have developed a 3D-printing method that could make it easier to build soft robots designed to bend, ...

(Nanowerk News) Scientists have developed a new method that can make customised 3D-printed metal parts containing different properties – such as having some regions of the metal stronger than others.

Taking a cue from the structural complexity of trees and bones, engineers have created a way to 3D-print two types of steel in the same circular layer using two welding machines. The resulting ...

Researchers from the University of Oldenburg have successfully fabricated tiny metal objects with their new 3D printing technique. In collaboration with researchers from ETH Zurich in Switzerland and ...

Concordia researchers have developed a new 3D-printing technique that uses sound waves to directly print tiny structures onto ...

Vat photopolymerization is a 3D printing technique in which a light-sensitive resin is poured into a vat, and then selectively hardened into a desired shape using a laser or UV light. But this process ...
