Rocket engineering is shifting from painstaking machining and welding to a world where engines and tanks emerge from printers as single, sculpted pieces of metal. Instead of treating 3D printing as a ...
A Firestorm xCell micro 3D printing factory loading onto a C-130 to print Tempest UAV systems at a U.S. Air Force base. Inside a standard shipping container, a "factory-in-a-box" hums to life. It is ...
“Large-scale products that are designed to fly will inevitably be 3D printed,” said Tim Ellis, cofounder and CEO of Relativity Space. “The lighter a product is, the better it performs, and when 3D ...

3D printing's expanding role in industry and research

Additive manufacturing has advanced well beyond its early role as a prototyping tool, becoming integral to production in ...
3D printing can be used to automate the manufacturing of building elements for large-scale structures such as skyscrapers, aircraft, rockets and space bases without human intervention. However, ...
The company believes its Monolith One machine is the most advanced industrial metal 3D printer in the United States.
3D printing objects using metal is a well-established technique, but it tends to be too complex, expensive, or imprecise to match traditional methods at scale. Armed with $14 million from Nvidia and ...
‘Weaving Love’ is Hong Kong’s first outdoor pavilion constructed using the constructional 3D metal printing through Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM) technology, making a transformative milestone ...
AML3D LIMITED (ASX:AL3) has completed commissioning of its first two custom large-scale ARCEMY® X metal 3D printing systems ...
We’ve seen 3D-printed houses before, but most make use of prefabricated chunks. This hurricane and tornado resistant hotel suite in the Philippines was printed in one shot. The building was designed ...
Researchers have found special atomic patterns called quasicrystals in 3D-printed aluminum alloys. Quasicrystals increase the strength of 3D-printed aluminum, the researchers discovered, making it ...
This article is aimed at large scale 3D printing. For medium and desktop size printing, both thermoplastic materials and thermoset materials are used. While for large format additive manufacturing ...
