Metal 3D printing has long promised aerospace-grade parts at desktop scale, but titanium has stubbornly resisted that vision.

When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. ESA scientists have successfully demonstrated 3D printing of a metal part in space for the first ...

Rocket engineering is shifting from painstaking machining and welding to a world where engines and tanks emerge from printers ...

With increased confidence in 3D printing, more design engineers are looking to see where new processes could add a competitive edge. While cost associated with 3D printing is reducing, metal printing ...

Desktop Metal’s shift in applications from prototyping and tooling to high-volume production of end-use parts ostensibly ushers in the next wave of mass manufacturing technology. The metals additive ...

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 ...

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 ...

3D printing has been around for longer than most people think - the first 3D print was made in 1981 by Hideo Kodama. But 3D printing has come a long way since then, with prints being made at ...

THE NEXT LEVEL. We can now 3D print pretty much anything from seemingly any material. Want to print a house out of concrete, a human cornea out of a bio-ink, or a pizza out of dough, sauce, and cheese ...
