Metal 3D printers are, by and large, many times more expensive than their FDM and resin-based brethren. It’s a shame, because there’s plenty of projects that would benefit from being able to produce ...

The new John Deere tractors rolling off the manufacturing line in Mannheim, Germany, have a first for the company: a metal 3D-printed engine part. The global manufacturer of agricultural and turf ...

A startup will soon launch game changing 3-D printers that can fabricate metal parts cheaply and quickly enough to make the technology practical for widespread use in product design and manufacturing.

A team of bachelor students in Switzerland has designed a 3D high-speed multi-material metal printer that could change the future of aerospace, propulsion, and e-mobility manufacturing. In only nine ...

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 ...

Stephen Shankland worked at CNET from 1998 to 2024 and wrote about processors, digital photography, AI, quantum computing, computer science, materials science, supercomputers, drones, browsers, 3D ...

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 ...

Getting spare parts for an older vehicle can be difficult. When a manufacturer’s leftover stock runs out, the only real option is usually the junkyard. But Mercedes-Benz parent Daimler believes 3D ...

Our current level of technological development does not allow us to build things in space. In the best-case scenario, we are capable of assembling stuff in orbit, but the actual build of structures ...
