It’s tough times for 3D-printing. Stratasys got burned on Makerbot, trustful backers got burned on the Peachy Printer meltdown, I burned my finger on a brand new hotend just yesterday, and that’s only ...

Additive manufacturing is a process that adds material, usually on a layer-to-layer basis, to make a 3D object based off the interpretation of 3D computer-aided-design (CAD) data. Additive ...

Researchers have developed a new technique for directly printing metal circuits, creating flexible, stretchable electronics. The technique can use multiple metals and substrates and is compatible with ...

We have no doubt that hundreds of times a day a hacker is watching a 3D printer spew hot plastic and fantasizes about being able to print directly using metal. While metal printers are more common ...

A Texas firm called Solid Concepts has announced it has successfully 3D-printed a gun in metal. The firm chose to print a working replica of a classic Browning 1911 pistol in order to prove how ...

Hydraulic pumps, cylinders, and other actuators deliver greater power in smaller packages than engines, electric motors, and mechanical actuators. Hydraulic valves easily control direction, speed, ...
