MaterialsNIST Announces Metal 3D Printing Breakthrough Which Could Help Spur Wider AdoptionOne of the biggest obstacles to widespread adoption of metal additive manufacturing is that we still have large gaps of understanding about what happens to the material during the process. More specifically, there are few tools which can show what…
PrintersWhat Are the Silicone 3D Printers on the Market?Silicone is a material that is becoming increasingly popular in additive manufacturing due to its properties: good thermal and chemical resistance, biocompatibility and flame retardancy. Generally, the material is used in traditional manufacturing processes such as injection mold
ApplicationsRelativity Space’s Terran 1 Successfully Lifted Off But Did Not Reach OrbitA few years ago, we introduced you to the Terran 1, Relativity Space’s almost entirely 3D printed rocket. Built using directed energy deposition (DED) and powder bed fusion, this spacecraft was an industry first. Moreover, according to the manufacturer, it…
ApplicationsNASA Is Looking to Advance the Use of Metal 3D Printing for SpaceflightIt is common knowledge that additive manufacturing is extremely useful right here on Earth, but what about in outer space?
