A team of Northwestern Engineers has created a new way to print three-dimensional metallic objects using rust and metal powders. While current methods rely on vast metal powder beds and expensive ...

To enhance the printing consistency and reduce the fabrication cost, the recent progress on powder characterization, preparation, and reuse is systematically reviewed. Scientists from Nanjing ...

Researchers have now demonstrated the ability to create amorphous metal, or metallic glass, alloys using 3-D printing technology, opening the door to a variety of applications -- such as more ...

Additive manufacturing (AM), or 3D printing, is one of the latest and most sensational developments in manufacturing since the industrial revolution. The technique is mainly based upon ‘layer-by-layer ...

The technique is more efficient and can be used to print metal oxides, such as iron oxide (rust), which can then be reduced into metal. Rust powder is lighter, more stable, cheaper, and safer to ...

The prospects for 3D printing may have just become a little bit stronger, literally, thanks to a new way of using metallic powders to create structures. A Northwestern University team has shown a new ...

Medical implants are an ideal field for 3D printing, requiring the rapid manufacture of highly intricate and customizable products. Research in additive manufacturing continues to improve the quality ...

Over the past few years many advancements have been made in the creation of 3D printer filament, and ColorFabb has been pushing the boundaries of what can be accomplished. Their latest 3D printing ...

Researchers have now demonstrated the ability to create amorphous metal, or metallic glass, alloys using three-dimensional (3-D) printing technology, opening the door to a variety of applications - ...
