Everyone wants to 3D print with metals, but it is a difficult task. You need high temperatures and metals with high thermal conductivity make the problem even worse. Researchers at Caltech have a way ...

High-entropy alloys (HEAs) are metallurgy’s version of having your cake and eating it too, combining multiple elements to ...

Freeform Future Corp., a startup using custom 3D printers to make metal parts, has raised $67 million in funding. The company stated in its announcement of the deal today that Nvidia Corp.’s NVentures ...

Researchers demonstrated a polymer-free 3D metal nanoprinting method that uses spatiotemporally confined hot electrons to ...

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 ...

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 ...

As a US Marine Corps combat engineer serving in Iraq, Jim Monroe used MacGyver-like hacks to repair mine rollers. Meant to detonate and clear mines, these heavy studded wheels are mounted on the ...

Additive manufacturing has advanced well beyond its early role as a prototyping tool, becoming integral to production in ...

3D printing has become one of the most efficient and affordable ways of creating simple, specific items without having to purchase them. But while 3D printing can save you money on some things, it's ...

Researchers are investigating how steel components can be specifically repaired or even redesigned in the future using ...

After some high-profile failures in 3D printing, all eyes are on Formlabs, a Somerville startup that hit $250 million in ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. I focus on the industrialization of additive manufacturing. The supply chain disruptions of 2020 were a wake-up call for ...
