Last week I went to the International Manufacturing Technology Show (IMTS) and it was incredible. This is a toy store for machinists and showcases the best of industrial automation. But one of the ...

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 at Cornell University have developed a new technique for 3D printing metallic objects – and it involves blasting titanium particles at supersonic speeds. The resulting metals are very porous ...

A team of researchers has created a new class of titanium alloys that are strong and not brittle under tension, by integrating alloy and 3D-printing process designs. The breakthrough, published in the ...

The ability to 3D print titanium-alloy objects certainly does open up some intriguing possibilities. That said, the finished items aren't always as strong as they could be. Now, new research suggests ...

If you need high-quality printing in a snap, a laser printer can produce clean, sharp prints in as little as a few seconds. But, after three weeks of testing each device, not all laser printers have ...
