3D printing became a reality when Charles Hull patented his Stereolithography (SLA) printer back in 1986, which was capable of printing only acrylic-based 3D objects. However, 3D printing supports a ...
We average Joes might bask in the knowledge that our species is fairly advanced from a technological standpoint, and more than able to study the space surrounding our planet. But engineers working in ...

3D printing's expanding role in industry and research

Additive manufacturing has advanced well beyond its early role as a prototyping tool, becoming integral to production in ...
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 ...
There is a thermal crisis in the data center industry. AI workloads are pushing GPU racks from 5 kW densities only a few ...
Scientists have developed a new method that can make customized 3D-printed metal parts containing different properties—such as having some regions of the metal stronger than others. The new technique ...
3D-printed metal parts produced through a Europe-wide collaboration of high-performance industrial sectors have undergone extensive testing for space use – tested to destruction in many cases – by ESA ...
3D printing has become one of the most efficient and affordable ways of creating simple, specific items without having to purchase them. But while 3D printing can save you money on some things, it's ...
Motorcycles have come a long way from their early days of hand-built frames and cast-iron engines. Over the years, the industry has constantly pushed the limits of manufacturing, experimenting with ...
Researchers have come up with a 3D printing method using liquid metal that's claimed to produce structures at least 10 times faster than existing metal additive manufacturing processes, though it does ...
Firearm suppressors, often called silencers, are having a breakout moment. Sales jumped 31% over the past year, according to the American Suppressor Association, with the number expected to surge in ...
