You also can 3D-print tools when teaching new operators, or in situations where manufacturing speed or safety matters more than tool longevity. With the right plastic filament and proper printing ...
In a move designed to expand access to affordable metal 3D printing for small- to medium-sized manufacturers and to decentralize additive manufacturing, Xact Metal has introduced new metal powders. In ...
Engineers at the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) have reimagined what it means to 3D print metal. Instead of forcing printers to handle molten alloys or heavy metal powders, they’ve ...
Construction robots are no longer a far-off idea. They're already changing job sites by tackling repetitive, heavy, and often dangerous tasks. The latest robot comes from Australia, where a ...
