Welding is typically used to join two parts together, whether those parts be metal or plastic. There are various styles of welding, but we won’t go into those here. Casting is the act of pouring a ...

Researchers have improved flaw detection to increase confidence in metal parts that are 3D-printed using laser powder bed fusion. Researchers at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National ...

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 ...

UL’s Dr Kyriakos Kourousis discusses his current research in metal additive manufacturing and the work of the Metal Plasticity and Additive Manufacturing Group at UL.

At RAPID + TCT 2026 this year, Mastrex is tackling one of the biggest barriers in metal additive manufacturing: cost. While ...

3D printing, also known as additive manufacturing (AM,) has evolved in leaps and bounds in recent decades to become an exciting emerging manufacturing technology in multiple industries. This article ...

Fine metal powder used to 3D print the new aluminum alloys. Each particle is less than 20 micrometers in diameter. A laser melts these particles layer by layer to build the final metal part.
