Life's peachy for the Peachy Printer, a prototype 3D printer that collected more than $140,000 on Kickstarter in a little more than 48 hours. What's causing all of the hubbub? People mostly seem ...

Introduction: During the development of Toyota's new hybrid vehicle model, a large LPBF metal 3D printer from Fraunhofer ILT ...

So a local "maker space" has two introductory workshops. One for laser cutting/engraving, the other on 3D printing. Ideally I'd visit both, since I'm clueless in both techniques and I haven't designed ...

Last week I went to the International Manufacturing Technology Show (IMTS) and it was incredible. This is a toy store for machinists and showcases the best of industrial automation. But one of the ...

Forget what you know about conventional 3D printers, because a Seattle-based company has unveiled what appears to be the next generation of 3D construction. Called the Glowforge 3D laser printer, this ...

Last May, I told you how 3D printers still aren’t easy enough for the mass market, but Bambu Lab had built the easiest yet. Now, instead of making it easier, Bambu is building its biggest and most ...

Researchers observed how metal microstructures evolve during 3D printing, offering insights to improve strength, reliability, and design of advanced components.

The last decade has witnessed a huge development in additive manufacturing (AM) or 3D printing when compared with its counterpart, subtractive manufacturing. AM enables rapid prototyping, ease of ...

Researchers develop flexible 3D printing method for metal components in microgravity, advancing space exploration and lunar ...

For the first time, researchers have shown that 3D-printed polymer-based micro-optics can withstand the heat and power levels that occur inside a laser. The advance enables inexpensive compact and ...

With various space agencies and private companies committed to setting up long-term human outposts on the Moon, the problem of building the habitats and other structures goes from thought experiments ...
