Their technique, called liquid metal printing (LMP), involves depositing molten aluminum along a predefined path into a bed of tiny glass beads. The aluminum quickly hardens into a 3D structure, ready ...

The US Navy has successfully utilized ADDiTEC’s proprietary Liquid Metal Jetting (LMJ) ElemX 3D printer to produce functional ...

At the center of this breakthrough is the use of shape-transformable liquid metal nanoparticles (LMNPs) integrated into polymers, enabling the direct 3D printing of complex, multi-functional robots.

Metal 3D printers are, by and large, many times more expensive than their FDM and resin-based brethren. It’s a shame, because there’s plenty of projects that would benefit from being able to ...

Researchers developed a groundbreaking technique that enhances the optical absorptivity of metal powders used in 3D printing.

In thermoplastic 3D printers, the material is melted in a chamber inside the hotend, then extruded through a nozzle to be deposited. Instead of trying to duplicate this arrangement for the metal ...
