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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Researchers developed a 3D printing-based method to tailor metal alloys by composition and structure, creating stronger, application-specific materials. (Nanowerk News) Caltech scientists have ...

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 ...

One-pot recipes make preparing meals quick and easy. And one-pot 3D-printing could do the same for additive manufacturing. Now, researchers publishing in ACS Central Science have demonstrated a new ...

Dr Gao Shubo (left), a research fellow from NTU Singapore, and Dr Li Zhi, a scientist from Singapore’s Agency for Science, Technology and Research, the first and second authors respectively of a study ...

Engineers at the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) have reimagined what it means to 3D print metal. Instead of forcing printers to handle molten alloys or heavy metal powders, they’ve ...

3D printing, also known as additive manufacturing (AM,) has evolved in leaps and bounds in recent decades to become an exciting emerging manufacturing technology in multiple industries. This article ...
