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 ...

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 ...

MIT researchers have developed an additive manufacturing technique that can print rapidly with liquid metal, producing large-scale parts like table legs and chair frames in a matter of minutes. Their ...

Researchers at MIT have developed a rapid 3D-printing technique that uses liquid metal to allow for extremely fast prints. The process can manufacture large aluminum components in minutes, whereas ...

Freeform has developed a 3D printing system called GoldenEye that is specifically optimized for metalworking. According to ...

The U.S. Navy has long valued the potential of additive manufacturing (AM) and 3D Printing. AM refers to the depositing of material layer by layer to create an object. For the Navy, it’s not practical ...

Over the past decade 3D printing has advanced from simple plastic objects to creating intricate designs with multiple materials to bioprinting living tissues, the possibilities are expanding rapidly, ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) The next generation of robots may not look anything like the rigid, mechanical machines we’re used to. Instead, imagine a robot that moves more like an octopus or a human hand, ...
