This video explores advanced manufacturing techniques by demonstrating how a conventional 3D printer can be used as a ...

As a US Marine Corps combat engineer serving in Iraq, Jim Monroe used MacGyver-like hacks to repair mine rollers. Meant to detonate and clear mines, these heavy studded wheels are mounted on the ...

At this point, it’s safe to say the novelty of desktop 3D printing has worn off. The community has largely come to terms with the limitations of extruded plastics, and while we still vehemently ...

Scientists turned to AI to help develop a new alloy that’s perfect for a simple 3D-printing process.

Our current level of technological development does not allow us to build things in space. In the best-case scenario, we are capable of assembling stuff in orbit, but the actual build of structures ...

GE Aerospace’s Colibrium Additive wins a $31M Navy NAVAIR deal to speed qualification of 3D-printed metal parts, boost ...

Ever been in the middle of a home improvement project and realized you have the wrong hardware or need another box of screws? It means a traipse to the hardware store, and you have to remember what ...

Metal 3D printing is coming to space thanks to a new custom metal 3D printer designed by Airbus for the European Space Agency (ESA) that is now aboard the International Space Station. Not to be ...

Welding is typically used to join two parts together, whether those parts be metal or plastic. There are various styles of welding, but we won’t go into those here. Casting is the act of pouring a ...

The Apollo 13 moon mission didn't go as planned. After an explosion blew off part of the spacecraft, the astronauts spent a harrowing few days trying to get home. At one point, to keep the air ...

Three-dimensional printing has been the "next big thing" for at least seven or eight years running. But it has yet to advance beyond the niche industrial and enthusiast markets. One of the main issues ...

Every now and then we’ll see a 3D printer that can print an entire house out of concrete or print an entire rocket out of metal. But usually, for our budget-friendly hobbyist needs, most of our 3D ...
