Aluminum is prized for being lightweight and strong, but at high temperatures it loses strength. This has limited its use in ...

Editor’s note: Innovation Thursday – a deep dive into a newly emerging technology or companies such as our Startup Spotlight – is a regular feature at WRAL TechWire. RALEIGH – Researchers have ...

Igus has launched iglide i230 3D printing material specifically designed for high-temperature applications. The new powder material, which is suitable for selective laser sintering (SLS), can endure ...

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 ...

Although there are several methods of 3D-printing metal objects, all of them involve the application of heat – which isn't conducive to producing certain heat-sensitive electronics, among other things ...

3D bioprinting is gaining popularity as a way of treating disease and injury by producing three-dimensional living tissues and organs. However, to work effectively, the “inks” used for bioprinting ...

A hybrid organic-inorganic polymer resin enables the three-dimensional (3D) printing of nanoscale optical-grade glass at temperatures roughly half of what other approaches require, researchers report.

Some of the great potential uses for additive manufacturing are in medicine, where the ability to create customized artificial joints or implants specific to a patient hold much promise. With that ...
