High costs of powdered metals and the need for 3D printing/additive manufacturing equipment that can accommodate these materials are challenges that are being met by Rochester Institute of Technology ...

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 ...

Researchers used Argonne's Advanced Photon Source to capture how the microstructure of metals evolves in real time during 3D ...

The United States Navy's USS Essex has been equipped with a brand-new ElemX printer made by Xerox. The printer weighs 4,630 pounds (2,100 kilograms) and was lifted via crane onto the vessel while in ...

(Nanowerk News) The term 'liquid metal' refers to metals with melting points near or below room temperature. Mercury (Hg) and gallium (Ga) are the two most recognized elemental liquid metals (read ...

The student-led project, named RAPTURE, was initially designed to help ARIS (the Swiss Academic Space Initiative) build ...

If you think at all about liquid crystals, you probably think of display technology. However, researchers have worked out a way to use an ink-jet-like process to 3D print iridescent colors using a ...

Imagine a future in which you could 3D-print an entire robot or stretchy, electronic medical device with the press of a button—no tedious hours spent assembling parts by hand. That possibility may be ...
