Manufacturers rely on tungsten carbide–cobalt for tools that must survive extreme wear. Yet shaping ...

The development of cheaper, more powerful lasers has always been a cause for excitement among hackers, and fiber lasers are ...

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 ...

This new metal printing method keeps tungsten carbide insanely hard while cutting waste and skipping extreme heat cycles ...

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 ...

Stereolithography (SL Laser) technology uses a laser to heat the photosensitive resin, producing higher resolution print objects with more complex geometry. The print resolution reaches an impressive ...

The Core One is an excellent alternative to the Bambu Lab machines, and, because it's made by Prusa, it has security-first features and an upgrade path that just doesn't exist for other manufacturers.

For the first time, researchers have shown that 3D-printed polymer-based micro-optics can withstand the heat and power levels that occur inside a laser. The advance enables inexpensive, compact, and ...

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 ...

A Bengaluru-based company has developed a metal 3D printing system that can mass-produce high-precision metal parts at nearly half the cost and in a fraction of the time taken by existing machines.
