3D printing, or more accurately, additive manufacturing, is more than just a fad, and the automotive industry is providing more and more examples of this. The most obvious is Czinger, whose 21C ...
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 ...
Mercedes-Benz Trucks said it's crossed into new territory with the ability to 3D print metal parts for trucks. The first application is "a highly resistant thermostat cover for truck and Unimog models ...
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 ...
Nikon AM Synergy Inc. on Tuesday said it has received an Other Transaction Agreement from the Defense Innovation Unit (DIU) to prototype the company’s 3D ...
BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Desktop Metal, Inc. (NYSE:DM), a global leader in additive manufacturing technologies for mass production, today announced it would display a historic collection of more than ...
Researchers in Europe are developing metallic glass materials that could significantly reduce energy losses ...
Stephen Shankland worked at CNET from 1998 to 2024 and wrote about processors, digital photography, AI, quantum computing, computer science, materials science, supercomputers, drones, browsers, 3D ...
Three-dimensional (3D) printing involves creating an object from a computer-aided design model by fusing a material, such as metal or plastic, layer by layer. The technique is precise and repeatable, ...
It may sound like a pop band, but μ-WAAM is actually a 3D printing technique for making small metal parts from the NOVA University Lisbon. Of course, WAAM stands for wire arc additive manufacturing, a ...
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 ...
VW has been working with HP and Siemens to scale up 3D metal printing processes to make car parts. Metallic 3D-printed parts weigh half as much as those produced from sheet steel, allowing the ...
