As we've often discussed, making high-quality end-production parts with additive manufacturing (AM) and 3D-printing methods will take some carefully defined standards and guidelines for machines and ...

Like modern-day alchemists, metallurgists are constantly discovering and perfecting recipes for better alloys. A crucial step in those recipes is to get different metals to mix evenly. Unveiling a new ...

Researchers demonstrated a polymer-free 3D metal nanoprinting method that uses spatiotemporally confined hot electrons to ...

A team of researchers led by the University of Cambridge has developed a new technique that uses high-energy lasers to fine tune the properties of 3D-printed metal without compromising the complex ...

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 ...

As a US Marine Corps combat engineer serving in Iraq, Jim Monroe used MacGyver-like hacks to repair mine rollers. Meant to detonate and clear mines, these heavy studded wheels are mounted on the ...
