So a local "maker space" has two introductory workshops. One for laser cutting/engraving, the other on 3D printing. Ideally I'd visit both, since I'm clueless in both techniques and I haven't designed ...

Researchers from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) developed a new 3D printing approach for metal ...

As anyone who has used an FDM printer can tell you, it’s certainly not the magical replicator it’s often made out to be. The limitations of the platform are numerous — ranging from anisotropic ...

The Fuse X1 is designed to bring large-format SLS printing to more engineering teams and production lines. Formlabs wants to ...

Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have created a new ...

Like modern-day alchemists, metallurgists are constantly discovering and perfecting recipes for better alloys. A crucial step ...

The last decade has witnessed a huge development in additive manufacturing (AM) or 3D printing when compared with its counterpart, subtractive manufacturing. AM enables rapid prototyping, ease of ...

If you haven’t noticed, diode laser engraver/cutters have been getting more powerful lately. [Cranktown City] was playing with an Atomstack 20 watt laser and wondered if it would sinter sand into ...

Bottom line: There are other products on the market that can double as both a 3D printer and a laser engraver that don't have the riskiness inherent in a Kickstarter campaign. But Lotmaxx sets itself ...

A 3D printer that uses lasers to build up an object in any order, rather than layer by layer, could produce more advanced designs than is currently possible. Existing 3D printers work by depositing ...

The P2S is probably the best 3D printer you can buy right now. The P1S was outstanding, winning our best overall in 2023, and the P2S fixed all the tiny issues I had with its predecessor. While it isn ...
