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 ...

Generally, 3D metal printers work by laying down a bed of metal alloy powder, then sintering it with an electron beam or a laser in a pattern based on a digital file. A second layer is automatically ...

3D printing has been around for longer than most people think - the first 3D print was made in 1981 by Hideo Kodama. But 3D printing has come a long way since then, with prints being made at ...

Although there are several methods of 3D-printing metal objects, all of them involve the application of heat – which isn't conducive to producing certain heat-sensitive electronics, among other things ...

By applying machine learning techniques, engineers at MIT have created a new method for 3D printing metal alloys that produce ...

Unlocking gains in the energy and decarbonization sectors with AM. 3D Systems’ DMP and investment casting solutions empower ...

Startup Seurat Technologies Inc., which develops laser-powered 3D printers for the industrial sector, today announced that it has raised $99 million in funding. Nvidia Corp.’s NVentures fund and ...

I’ve always thought that there are three things you can do with metal: cut it, bend it, and join it. Sure, I knew you could melt it, but that was always something that happened in big foundries- you ...

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.
