3D printing is all well and good for making low numbers of units, so long as they’re small enough to print in a reasonable time, but what if you want to go really big? Does a 35-hour print time sound ...

The emergence of 3D printed open-source lathes marks a significant milestone in the development of cost-effective machine tools. By ingeniously combining 3D printing technology with concrete casting ...

Avon-based Mears Machine Corp., which has invested millions of dollars in 3D metal printers since last year, sees the technology as a key that could unlock massive growth for the company in the coming ...

Researchers are leveraging machine learning to improve additive manufacturing, also commonly known as 3D printing. The team introduces a new framework they've dubbed the Accurate Inverse process ...

Thanks to a rotating platform, a new 3D metal printer can deposit and fuse metal powder in a single step, thereby working faster than conventional machines. The system can process two different metals ...

Structural defects that form during additive manufacturing, also known as 3D printing, are a barrier to some applications of this technology. Researchers used diagnostic tools and machine learning to ...
