Metal 3D printing has long promised aerospace-grade parts at desktop scale, but titanium has stubbornly resisted that vision.

Despite the impressive variety of thermoplastics that can be printed on consumer-level desktop 3D printers, the most commonly used filament is polylactic acid (PLA). That’s because it’s not only the ...

Igus has launched iglide i230 3D printing material specifically designed for high-temperature applications. The new powder material, which is suitable for selective laser sintering (SLS), can endure ...

A hybrid organic-inorganic polymer resin enables the three-dimensional (3D) printing of nanoscale optical-grade glass at temperatures roughly half of what other approaches require, researchers report.

Editor’s note: Innovation Thursday – a deep dive into a newly emerging technology or companies such as our Startup Spotlight – is a regular feature at WRAL TechWire. RALEIGH – Researchers have ...

3D bioprinting is gaining popularity as a way of treating disease and injury by producing three-dimensional living tissues and organs. However, to work effectively, the “inks” used for bioprinting ...

Some of the great potential uses for additive manufacturing are in medicine, where the ability to create customized artificial joints or implants specific to a patient hold much promise. With that ...

D Printing is now enabling solutions that support biodiversity, rebuild fragile ecosystems, and strengthen conservation ...

A new approach to the 3D printing of chocolate using cold extrusion instead of conventional hot-melt extrusion method eliminates the need for stringent temperature controls, offering wider potential ...
