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 ...

Tungsten carbide–cobalt (WC–Co) is prized for its hardness, but that same property makes it unusually difficult to shape. The current process is wasteful and expensive for the yield produced, and an ...

(Nanowerk News) Scientists have developed a new method that can make customised 3D-printed metal parts containing different properties – such as having some regions of the metal stronger than others.

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 pioneered a 3D printing method that grows metals and ceramics inside a water-based gel, resulting in exceptionally dense, yet intricate constructions for next-generation energy, ...

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 ...

Researchers from the University of Oldenburg have successfully fabricated tiny metal objects with their new 3D printing technique. In collaboration with researchers from ETH Zurich in Switzerland and ...

The CRAFT method uses widely available materials and inexpensive commercial 3D printers.

Harvard engineers have developed a new 3D printing technique that allows soft robots to ...

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 ...

Vat photopolymerization is a 3D printing technique in which a light-sensitive resin is poured into a vat, and then selectively hardened into a desired shape using a laser or UV light. But this process ...
