3D Printing Metal
From frontline replacement parts to quick-build bunkers, the military relies on 3D printing to get the job done faster, better, and anywhere.
Until now, metal 3D printing is an industrial thing. This might change, as US company "Desktop Metal" brings metal 3D printing to the desktop.
Lightweight automotive parts made with selective laser melting (SLM) 3D printing can improve fuel efficiency and reduce CO2 emissions.
Porous 3D printed titanium hips can mimic the quality of real bones, and potentially extend the life of a hip replacement.
These researchers can help designers make better overhangs using dissolvable metal supports for 3D printing.
Ursa Major's 3D printed Hadley engine powered a new test vehicle aimed at helping the US military develop hypersonic capabilities faster.
RMIT University uncovers a multi-topology lattice design for metal 3D printing set to drive a new era of lightweight industrial applications.
From 3D printing boats to ensuring spare parts make it onboard faster, 3D printing is helping to modernize the maritime/marine industry in many ways.
Fast, powerful, and accurate; Eplus3D aims to break open production metal part applications with its latest metal 3D printer.
A new tactical-model, container-size metal 3D printer is ready to deploy anywhere and 3D print critical metal parts in a matter of hours.
HP's new S100 multi-machine integrated metal 3D printing system for volume part production aims to revolutionize metal 3D printing for industry, automakers, and consumer products. Do they finally have the right formula?
Already slated to produce spare parts for the U.S. Army, the University of Pittsburgh's new Gefertec is bigger than some students' apartments.

As if 3D printing carbon-reinforced parts weren't hard enough, Swiss Scheurer GmbH did it big - and they did it on a luxury catamaran.
Metal 3D printing is now common in applications that require high strength parts, but checking these parts for faults is still a challenge. A professor from the University of Cincinnati aims to solve this problem by freezing them in ice.
Siemens' gas turbine business in Finspång, Sweden, is collaborating with Interspectral to accelerate industrialization of metal additive manufacturing by developing a 3D visualization tool called AM Explorer.
During Formnext 2018, the Massachusetts-based startup Desktop Metal announced a number of improvements to its Production System metal 3D printer, including accelerated print speeds and a larger build volume.
The Japanese electronics manufacturer Mitsubishi Electric Corporation has announced the development of a new metal additive manufacturing process. Dubbed as "dot forming technology," the technique combines laser, CNC, and CAM technologies to produce near-net metal parts.
In March, Desktop Metal filed a lawsuit against Markforged for allegedly copying portions of its patented metal 3D printing processes. Last week, a federal jury decided to clear Markforged of both IP infringement allegations, marking a major victory for the defendant.
For this year's Oktoberfest, GE Additive’s Customer Experience Center in Munich wondered what would happen if you combined the annual festival with stainless steel and titanium 3D printing? The result is a pretty cool German beer stein and a happy boss.
