How does 3D metal 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 layer.

Unlike many 3D printing enthusiasts, [SunShine] works with metal printers of the laser powder bed type. His expectations for his parts are thus very high, and he aimed to create check valves that ...

People really want to 3D print metal, but while true metal printers exist, they still are expensive and out of reach of most hackers. However, even if you can afford an exotic printer or use metal ...

3D printed metal is getting better, faster, and stronger Start-ups want to make on-demand parts for rapid prototyping and military equipment maintenance by Prachi Patel, special to C&EN ...

The starting point for a 3D printed part is feedstock material, such as metal powder. Companies need common standards on judging feedstock quality, how best to 3D print with it, finish parts to an ...

The wire is independent of gravity unlike the powder-based system, which always has to fall to the ground,” said Sébastien Girault, metal 3D printer system engineer at Airbus, earlier this year.
