3D printing metal has been somewhat of a holy grail for the last decade in the hobby 3DP scene. We’ve seen a number of solutions, including using expensive filaments that incorporate metal into the ...

In 2024, the University of Maine unveiled the world’s largest 3D printer, which can print objects up to 29 meters long.

Researchers at the US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) are now researching how to utilize light ...

Methods Used in Aluminum 3D Printing Laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) is a method used to 3D print aluminum with a higher surface finish and high accuracy. This process is initiated by localized melting ...

Scientists are uncovering what happens inside 3D-printed metals, using new sensing tools to make parts stronger, safer and ...

Aluminum extrusions are a boon for mechanical assemblies, but they require a stock of brackets and other hardware to be kept on hand. [mightynozzle] has decided to make things a little easier for ...

In one form of additive manufacturing, complex metal parts are built one ultra-thin layer at a time — similar to frosting a ...

Here on Geeky Gadgets we have featured a wealth of 3D printed projects as well as a couple of 3D printed guitars, but now the very first aluminium 3D printer guitar has been unveiled providing a much ...

Students at ETH Zurich have developed a laser powder bed fusion machine that follows a circular tool path to print round components, which allows the processing of multiple metals at once. The system ...

The 3D-printing hype ended years ago, but the threat of tariffs and the closing of the de minimis exemptions means that making your own stuff might actually hold some value.

We've been caught in Lund University professor Olaf Diegel's creative web ever since first covering the 3D-printed Spider electric guitar back in 2012. Since then, he's kitted out a live rock band and ...
