In recent years, research interest in the 3D printing of metal patterns on plastic parts has grown exponentially, due to its high potential in the manufacturing of next-generation electronics. But ...

3D printing technology is used not only to build things as large as houses, but also as small as snowflakes. A new material allows the latter to be much stronger than ever before, and to be printed ...

The FX10 features built-in automation for quality assurance and print routines designed to deliver strong, accurate parts every print. Photo credit, all images: Markforged Markforged (Waltham, Mass., ...

A small amount of simulated crushed Martian rock mixed with a titanium alloy made a stronger, high-performance material in a 3D-printing process that could one day be used on Mars to make tools or ...

With years of experience in the pharmaceutical and life science sectors, CD Bioparticles has announced the expansion of its product portfolio with a comprehensive range of Additive Powders, to meet ...

The search for innovative implant materials in orthopedics has led to the exploration of advanced thermoplastics in the family of PAEK, a high performance thermoplastic. These materials have potential ...

Engineers at the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) have reimagined what it means to 3D print metal. Instead of forcing printers to handle molten alloys or heavy metal powders, they’ve ...

Researchers in the US have developed a novel 3D-printed smart composite that enables brittle ceramics to bend, absorb energy, and withstand heavy mechanical loads, while being manufactured at full ...

Since his postdoctoral days at MIT, Hang Yu, associate professor of materials science and engineering, has been wrestling ...

Markforged has announced the FX10 Metal Kit, a print engine that brings metal printing capability to the FX10. With this kit, the FX10 becomes an industrial 3D printer that can print both metal ...

Three-dimensional (3D) metal–plastic composite structures have widespread potential applicability in smart electronics, micro/nanosensing, internet-of-things (IoT) devices, and even quantum computing.
