A 3D printed ‘metamaterial’ boasting levels of strength for weight not normally seen in nature or manufacturing could change how we make everything from medical implants to aircraft or rocket parts.

A new type of 3D-printed lattice structure has surprised researchers with its strength and light weight. It uses two different lattice structures merged together to eliminate the weak points normally ...

Engineers used a process in which a laser instantly flashes metal powder into a fused solid. Using a common titanium alloy, engineers manufactured latticelike structures composed of hollow struts—each ...

Metal 3D printing has long promised aerospace-grade parts at desktop scale, but titanium has stubbornly resisted that vision. A new approach called cold metal fusion is changing that equation, turning ...

Engineers from RMIT University have produced a new type of 3D-printed titanium that's about a third cheaper than commonly used titanium alloys. The team used readily available and cheaper alternative ...

At Nagoya University, researchers have tested heat-resistant and recyclable metal alloys for automotive and aerospace ...

Apple is experimenting with manufacturing devices with the help of advanced 3D printing technology that might help reduce costs. Apple will start with an Apple Watch experiment that will include ...
