New dimensions in 3D printing: free-form fabrication
Additive manufacturing delivers a great deal of freedom when designing and developing parts. You are not always confined to a build platform, though. Some machines and processes deliver what may be the ultimate freedom—free-form fabrication. By … [Read more...] about New dimensions in 3D printing: free-form fabrication
What’s new in 3D printing electronics
The next trend in 3D printing appears to be incorporating electronics into the part during the printing process, i.e., without stopping the printing operation. Optomec was one of the first to do so. Now three students from Stanford University, CA, … [Read more...] about What’s new in 3D printing electronics
Low cost 3D printer for metal additive manufacturing
Although you will have to speak to a sales rep to find out exactly how low-cost this new entrant into the 3D printer market is, the LENS 450 metal 3D printer is one of the first low-cost metal 3D printers available. The printer was developed … [Read more...] about Low cost 3D printer for metal additive manufacturing
Using 3D printing to include electronics into designs
As 3D printing (3DP), additive manufacturing technology advances, one area manufacturers are working on is including electronics into the 3DP process. Several industries, including aerospace and the military, are particularly interested in this … [Read more...] about Using 3D printing to include electronics into designs
