Aluminum is prized for being lightweight and strong, but at high temperatures it loses strength. This has limited its use in engines, turbines, and other applications where parts must stay strong ...

With increased confidence in 3D printing, more design engineers are looking to see where new processes could add a competitive edge. While cost associated with 3D printing is reducing, metal printing ...

“I'd like to introduce you to the people that have found the Holy Grail of 3D Printing.” -Engineer introducing Bradley Woods before a presentation given in the Hubble Auditorium at Lockheed-Martin.

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 ...

Engineers have turned one of nature’s most reviled body parts into a precision tool, using the hollow feeding tubes of dead ...

Current 3D printers employ either plastic or metal only, and the conventional method to coat 3D plastic structures with metal is not environment-friendly and yields poor results. Now, scientists have ...
