Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) researchers have developed a novel 3D printing technique that uses light to ...

Paving the way to custom function control that goes beyond conventional mechanical functionsKey Findings Focusing on the ...

Now, researchers have developed a new 3D printing process for the fabrication of 3D metal-plastic composite structures with complex shapes.

The beads act as both print bed and support structure, allowing the metal to cool quickly without really affecting the surface.

Currently, 3D printing with multiple metals in a welding setup requires stopping and changing metal wires. The new method eliminates that pause and puts two or more metals in the same layer while ...

A research group conducted quantitative individual analysis on the contribution to the strength of the micrometer-scale ...

Nano-scale cellular structures boost 3D printed metal strength according to research from the University of Osaka.

That way the optimal crystal structure would appear within their desired material, making metal 3D printing less of a roll of the dice. “If we have data, we can use it to validate the models. That’s ...

Hearing aids, mouth guards, dental implants, and other highly tailored structures are often products of 3D printing. These structures are typically made via vat photopolymerization—a form of 3D ...

3D printing in space poses challenges, as many methods rely on gravity to position materials during the printing process. This is because when creating metal structures, molten metal is often used ...
