3D Printed Damascus Steel
A composite material with metal layers of varying hardness can be produced through clever temperature variation The material has a legendary reputation. Damascus steel is hard yet tough because it consists of layers of different iron alloys. . In ancient times, this...
Agile supply chains can be facilitated by 3D printing
This week, California-based metal 3D printing company Velo3D revealed it had raised an additional $12m in funding, taking its total to $150m. The money will be used to develop a new approach to metal 3D printing, reducing the need to re-design parts for additive...
Enable Mfg.’s Additive Casting process combines 3D printing, traditional casting
Enable Mfg. offers the patented Additive Casting process. It combines 3D printing and traditional casting to manufacture complex metal parts of any size. The process uses industrial 3D printing to produce molds and patterns; those molds are used to cast metal parts...
Affordable Aluminum 3D Printing with ValCUN’s Molten Metal Deposition
Whereas 3D printing has traditionally been used to make a lot of high-end parts in which weight saving and the texture or form make a high-value 3D-printed part worthwhile, lower costs would greatly increase the number of parts made industrially with 3D printing. ....
Electrochemical Machining & Metal 3D Printing Yield Micrometer Dimensional Tolerances
New research is emerging from Saarbrücken, Germany as Professor Dirk Bähre and his team at Saarland University work to improve 3D printing with metal. . Combining electrochemical machining (ECM) with metal fabrication, their new method allows for many of the benefits...
A Way to Effectively Weld Adjacent 3D Printed Layers Together
Allowing users to create objects from simple toys to custom prosthetic parts, plastics are a popular 3D printing material. But these printed parts are mechanically weak — a flaw caused by the imperfect bonding between the individual printed layers that make up the 3D...
Industrial metal 3D printer prints parts up to one meter high
AMCM, an EOS Group company, announced the serial production of its AMCM M 4K-1 (single laser) and AMCM M 4K-4 (four laser) industrial DMLS metal 3D printing platforms. Built on the EOS M 400 platform, the AMCM M 4K is for large applications, with a height up to one...
Researchers Develop Novel ‘Non-Contact’ Method of Machining 3D Printed Metal Parts
Oliver Dietze & University of Saarland Researchers from the Saarland University have developed a novel non-contact method of transforming 3D printed metal parts into high-precision technical components for specialist applications. . The research team consisting...
New material could be used to make a liquid metal robot
A liquid metal lattice that can be crushed but returns to its original shape on heating has been developed by Pu Zhang and colleagues at Binghamton University in the US. . The material is held together by a silicone shell and could find myriad uses including soft...
