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 ...

Advancements in 3D printing have made it easier for designers and engineers to customize projects, create physical prototypes at different scales, and produce structures that can’t be made with more ...

Taking a cue from the structural complexity of trees and bones, engineers have created a way to 3D-print two types of steel in the same circular layer using two welding machines. The resulting ...

Researchers have developed a way to create complex devices with multiple materials -- including plastics, metals and semiconductors -- all with a single machine. The research outlines a novel 3D ...

3D printing has emerged over the past four decades to become a major cornerstone of the fourth industrial revolution. Today, affordable desktop 3D printers are used by hobbyists worldwide, with 3D ...

3D printing is a kind of computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) that enables the production of physical products via computer-aided designs (CAD). Compared to traditional manufacturing methods such as ...

Arizona State University (ASU) engineering professor, Dr. Kenan Song, is leading a research team to advance nanoscale 3D printing by developing new MXene nanoparticles with new structures, physical ...

Forward-looking: Researchers at the University of Texas at Austin have unveiled a new 3D printing technique that could transform how engineers and doctors design devices that require both strength and ...

3D printing is still a relatively novel method of manufacture, and has already diversified massively in terms of printing methods, materials, and design possibilities, finding niche application in a ...

Researchers developed a 3D printing-based method to tailor metal alloys by composition and structure, creating stronger, application-specific materials. (Nanowerk News) Caltech scientists have ...
