A new breed of low-cost, desktop 3D printers that print metal parts from easy-to-use metal filament may ease supply chain woes.

Learn what a 3D printer is, how it works, and how much it costs. 3D printing is helpful for personal use, prototyping and manufacturing.

Metal 3D printing can produce the most intricate rocket parts, using combustion-resistant material. While 3D printing isn't new, how has the technology advanced to face the more extreme conditions ...

The new ExOne Production Metal Cost Calculator provides manufacturers with a per-part estimate for binder jet 3D printing a precision metal part, so the technology can easily be compared to other ...

Students at ETH Zurich have developed a laser powder bed fusion machine that follows a circular tool path to print round ...

The metal 3D printers can cost up to $1 million, since they have to be operated in a room that’s very well-controlled, ventilated, and has the ability to suppress explosions (if they happen).

Seurat Technologies, which recently signed its first production contract, says it’s solved the biggest challenge in 3-D ...

A new start-up aims to make 3D printing of metal objects something that can be done at scale. If this pans out, US supply chains could could be near shored and could become far more resilient.

3D printed metal is getting better, faster, and stronger Start-ups want to make on-demand parts for rapid prototyping and military equipment maintenance ...

Additive manufacturing (AM), also known as metal 3D printing, creates objects by addition of material, layer by layer. A major source material for AM is metal powder, which is predominantly ...

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 ...
