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 ...

Broad success of ExOne’s patented Triple Advanced Compaction Technology (ACT), combined with a market-leading portfolio of binders, is enabling binder jetting of a wider range of powder types with a ...

Powder 3D printing, specifically Selective Laser Sintering (SLS), offers several advantages over traditional filament and resin 3D printing methods. In the world of 3D printing, powder-based ...

With the Apple Watch Ultra 3, Apple introduced a new 3D-printing manufacturing process for the titanium shell – allowing ...

The laser selectively melds predetermined areas of a powder bed by scanning cross-sections derived from a 3D digital representation of the needed part. Following the scanning of each cross-section, a ...

Students at ETH Zurich have developed a laser power bed fusion machine that follows a circular tool path to print round components, thereby being able to process multiple metals at once. The system ...

D printing is getting less finicky in 2026. New materials, machines, and software are cutting setup times and making high-quality prints easier.

An updated edition of the January 27, 2026 article. 3D Printing, also known as additive manufacturing, has fundamentally reshaped product design and fabrication. Since its emergence in the 1980s, this ...

Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) is an additive manufacturing method commonly used for rapid prototyping and low-volume production of functional parts. During SLS, a laser beam is used to sinter ...
