Metal 3D printing has long promised aerospace-grade parts at desktop scale, but titanium has stubbornly resisted that vision. A new approach called cold metal fusion is changing that equation, turning ...

At first glance, few materials would seem to have less in common than metals and textiles. And yet, by manufacturing ...

The ability to 3D print titanium-alloy objects certainly does open up some intriguing possibilities. That said, the finished items aren't always as strong as they could be. Now, new research suggests ...

A team of researchers has created a new class of titanium alloys that are strong and not brittle under tension, by integrating alloy and 3D-printing process designs. They say they embedded circular ...

A new type of 3D-printed lattice structure has surprised researchers with its strength and light weight. It uses two different lattice structures merged together to eliminate the weak points normally ...

The potential for 3D printing technology to change the way facial reconstruction surgery is performed is being realized in the U.K. Doctors have successfully used 3D-printed titanium plates to rebuild ...

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 ...

Apple is experimenting with manufacturing devices with the help of advanced 3D printing technology that might help reduce costs. Apple will start with an Apple Watch experiment that will include ...
