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 ...

Even a “cheap” metal printer costs over $100,000. But there are ways you can almost get there with a pretty garden-variety printer. There’s no shortage of people mixing things into PLA filament.

At room temperature, metal doesn’t naturally lend itself to being printed as a fluid. However, this is exactly what today’s machines allow. To make small shapes in metal, 3D printing is a far ...

At its core, “metal 3D printing” is a simplified term for a metal-based additive manufacturing process; primarily either Direct Metal Laser Sintering (DMLS) or Selective Laser Melting (SLM).

Printing giant HP today launched its much-anticipated 3-D metal printer, the latest foray in the fast-growing market for industrial-scale 3-D printers. HP, which is already in the market with a ...

Also in 2017, 3-D-printing company Markforged, a small startup based outside Boston, released the first 3-D metal printer for under $100,000. Never miss a breakthrough.

Desktop Metal revealed pricing and other details for its 3D printers today which can make objects out of hundreds of different alloys including steel, aluminum, titanium and copper.In terms of ...

The $900,000 metal 3-D printer recently installed at Iowa State isn't all that different from the plastic 3-D printers that have swept through the worlds of traditional manufacturing and high-tech ...

HP is trying to change that. In 2016, it launched its Jet Fusion plastic 3-D printer, designed for mass production rather than one-off printing. Now with the Metal Jet, it wants to get into big ...

The start-up, whose name is pronounced “speed 3D,” develops 3D-printing technology for metal. “If we’d had a metal 3D printer, we could just print those pins and repair our mine rollers ...

Among the cargo that just blasted off from Cape Canaveral, Florida, bound for the ISS were two firsts: the world’s first metal 3D printer designed especially for use in orbit and the first ...
