Thyssenkrupp and Wilhelmsen launched a 3D printing joint venture aimed at providing 3D-printed spare parts to the maritime industry. Mechanical parts wear out and break. It happens to cars, planes, ...

From aerospace and medical purposes to fashion and automotive innovations, there are nearly limitless possibilities of 3D printing for prototyping, manufacturing and customization. A 3D printer ...

Russian engineers have proposed a new technique for testing the strength of complex structures — elements of aircraft, buildings, turbines and other facilities. The technology consists in 3D printing ...

Q: I'm excited by all the new 3D-printed figures and details that have become available. Lately, however, I've received some figures that are still attached to the support structure. I work in HO ...

3D printing is a downright futuristic technology. People can use plastic filaments, resin, and other materials to create custom objects. The quality of the print is limited by a user's printer, but ...

This unfeasibly tiny 3D printed, 15 micrometer model of the USS Voyager—well of an Intrepid-class starship (we can't quite make out the designation)—can actually move under its own power. Though warp ...

Launching large man-made structures into orbit poses extraordinary challenges. But cutting-edge 3D-printing technology could make space manufacturing far more practical — by moving the manufacturing ...

3D printing has entered the mainstream with carmakers, allowing them to speed up development and production for certain parts. For instance, when Chevrolet modified the design of the 2022 Tahoe, it ...
