Microwave precision: Meta-NFS focuses microwave energy to heat only printed inks, protecting surrounding biomaterials during 3D printing. Biomedical potential: The method enables electronics ...

Researchers have come up with a 3D printing method using liquid metal that's claimed to produce structures at least 10 times faster than existing metal additive manufacturing processes, though it does ...

Firearm suppressors, often called silencers, are having a breakout moment. Sales jumped 31% over the past year, according to the American Suppressor Association, with the number expected to surge in ...

BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Desktop Metal (NYSE: DM), a global leader in Additive Manufacturing 2.0 technologies for mass production, today announced the launch of a Reactive Safety Kit for the ...

LEMONT, Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--In one form of additive manufacturing, complex metal parts are built one ultra-thin layer at a time — similar to frosting a cake, but with far greater precision and ...

The Apollo 13 moon mission didn't go as planned. After an explosion blew off part of the spacecraft, the astronauts spent a harrowing few days trying to get home. At one point, to keep the air ...

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. The ...

Our current level of technological development does not allow us to build things in space. In the best-case scenario, we are capable of assembling stuff in orbit, but the actual build of structures ...

[Chris Borge] has made (and revised) many of his own tools using a combination of 3D printing and common hardware, and recently decided to try metal casting. Having created his own tapping arm, he ...

As space exploration aims to go further than ever before, space agencies and companies are looking at new ways to sustain longer duration space flights, as well as on other planetary bodies. A ...

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 ...

During trials, the 3D-printed “lollipop” structures were magnetized to assorted levels. When a simple refrigerator magnet was ...
