Although there are several methods of 3D-printing metal objects, all of them involve the application of heat – which isn't conducive to producing certain heat-sensitive electronics, among other things ...

BMW Group brands 3D-print metal & plastic parts for some exclusive cars. Additive Manufacturing Campus near Munich features 50 metal & polymer printers. High cost of Laser Beam Melting means ...

Have you ever been tempted by those metal 3D printing services? [Carter Hurd] has, and puts them to the test with a wristwatch. (Video, embedded below.) It’s fair to say that among Hackaday readers ...

In recent years, research interest in the 3D printing of metal patterns on plastic parts has grown exponentially, due to its high potential in the manufacturing of next-generation electronics. But ...

Current 3D printers employ either plastic or metal only, and the conventional method to coat 3D plastic structures with metal is not environment-friendly and yields poor results. Now, scientists have ...

Additive manufacturing, or 3D printing, has been around in one shape or form for a while. There has been a lot of interest in 3D printing for easing supply chain congestion, especially when it comes ...

High costs of powdered metals and the need for 3D printing/additive manufacturing equipment that can accommodate these materials are challenges that are being met by Rochester Institute of Technology ...

3D-printed plastic parts are already gaining traction, but metal is still a ways off from becoming everyday reality in the auto industry. Andrew Krok Reviews Editor / Cars Cars are Andrew's jam, as is ...
