3D-printed metal parts produced through a Europe-wide collaboration of high-performance industrial sectors have undergone extensive testing for space use – tested to destruction in many cases – by ESA ...

Metal that bends instead of breaking has been a dream of engineers since the first steel tools snapped on factory floors. A new generation of 3D printed alloys is pushing that dream closer to reality, ...

A team of researchers has used machine learning to design a new stainless steel alloy built specifically for 3D printing, one ...

UL’s Dr Kyriakos Kourousis discusses his current research in metal additive manufacturing and the work of the Metal ...

To overcome the difficulties of 3D printing metal in such a constricted environment, engineers at Airbus, who worked with experts at the University of Cranfield and CNES, France’s space agency, ...

As a US Marine Corps combat engineer serving in Iraq, Jim Monroe used MacGyver-like hacks to repair mine rollers. Meant to detonate and clear mines, these heavy studded wheels are mounted on the ...

To find out how long 3D-printed metal parts are likely to last in the field, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency is providing up to $10.3M to a University of Michigan-led team. When military ...

Debinding and sintering are the make-or-break stages of 3D printing with metal powder filament. With a small, tabletop 3D ...

One of the challenges with 3D printing is seeing how far designs can be pushed before they break. This includes aspects like flexible hinges and structural components, but also smaller details such as ...
