Tossing titanium powder into 3D printing hands out heaps of perks—drives its hot streak. Its tiny grains slide smooth in print layers—lands clean, top-grade goods with few flubs. Its brawn-to-light ...

Quasicrystals, once considered impossible, were found in a 3D-printed aluminum alloy – and they make it stronger. This could ...

Scientists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have discovered something surprising that could ...

Andrew Iams saw something strange while looking through his electron microscope. He was examining a sliver of a new aluminum alloy at the atomic scale, searching for the key to its strength, when he ...

What are the EBM 3D printers on the market in 2025? We took a closer look at the top models that are available.

Kube: In laser-based metal 3D printing, a laser beam selectively melts metal powder in succession and layer-by-layer to create a 3D-printed part. Defects such as pores manifest from micron-sized ...

D-printing metal parts could save weeks of downtime, but DARPA wants a way to certify how long they'll last Veera Sundararaghavan and PhD student ...

A study shows recycled concrete powders can replace up to 50% of Portland cement in 3D-printed mixes—cutting CO2 emissions by ...

The University of Michigan leads a DARPA initiative to predict the lifespan of LPBF 3D-printed metal parts, ensuring quality ...

How Does Metal 3D Printing Work? There are a few different ways to 3D-print metals, but the most common is called "powder bed fusion." It works like this: Metal powder is spread evenly in a thin ...
