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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

3D printing objects using metal is a well-established technique, but it tends to be too complex, expensive, or imprecise to match traditional methods at scale. Armed with $14 million from Nvidia and ...

This new metal printing method keeps tungsten carbide insanely hard while cutting waste and skipping extreme heat cycles ...

Engineers at the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) have reimagined what it means to 3D print metal. Instead of forcing printers to handle molten alloys or heavy metal powders, they’ve ...

Scientists at EPFL have reimagined 3D printing by turning simple hydrogels into tough metals and ceramics. Their process allows multiple infusions of metal salts that form dense, high-strength ...

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 ...

Arizona company Rosotics says it's ready to revolutionize large-scale 3D metal printing, with a new "rapid induction printing" approach that can print parts of enormous size – with radical advantages ...

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.
