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 ...

(Nanowerk News) In a significant advancement for metal additive manufacturing, researchers at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) and their academic partners have developed a groundbreaking ...

BMW Group brands 3D-print metal & plastic parts for some exclusive cars. Additive Manufacturing Campus near Munich features 50 metal & polymer printers. High cost of Laser Beam Melting means ...

Generally, 3D metal printers work by laying down a bed of metal alloy powder, then sintering it with an electron beam or a laser in a pattern based on a digital file. A second layer is automatically ...

Engineers at MIT have taken a metal that usually trades strength for lightness and pushed it into an entirely new class, ...

(Nanowerk News) While laser-based 3D printing techniques have revolutionized the production of metal parts by greatly expanding design complexity, the laser beams traditionally used in metal printing ...

In a move designed to expand access to affordable metal 3D printing for small- to medium-sized manufacturers and to decentralize additive manufacturing, Xact Metal has introduced new metal powders. In ...

An accessible 3D printer for metals has been the holy grail of amateur printer builders since at least the beginning of the RepRap project, but as tends to be the case with holy grails, it’s proven ...

With increased confidence in 3D printing, more design engineers are looking to see where new processes could add a competitive edge. While cost associated with 3D printing is reducing, metal printing ...

The technique is more efficient and can be used to print metal oxides, such as iron oxide (rust), which can then be reduced into metal. Rust powder is lighter, more stable, cheaper, and safer to ...

3D-printing metal in the deposition style carries many names, such as laser-engineered shaping, directed energy deposition, and laser metal deposition. Because these all represent the same concept, ...

D Systems’ DDD Aerospace & Defense (A&D) business, which grew more than 15% year over year in 2025, is expected to grow more ...
