AI models are designing new metal alloys that have been 3D-printed and tested in the lab. The results are then fed back into the AI to accelerate alloy discovery.

Everyone wants to 3D print with metals, but it is a difficult task. You need high temperatures and metals with high thermal conductivity make the problem even worse. Researchers at Caltech have a way ...

While 3D printing has mostly involved plastic so far, future materials, including one harder than steel, could make a huge ...

The 3D printing industry is in the midst of its biggest shakeup yet in the form of a battle over the sector’s most valuable company. After 3D printer manufacturer Stratasys SSYS announced its intent ...

Welding is typically used to join two parts together, whether those parts be metal or plastic. There are various styles of welding, but we won’t go into those here. Casting is the act of pouring a ...

If you've just started 3D printing as a hobby, you're probably comparing the various filament types, but does the brand ...

In an experiment that sounds about as safe as bobbing for fries, ESA carried out the first-ever 3D metal printing in space aboard the International Space Station (ISS). Built with Airbus, the Metal 3D ...
