There’s a new — and free — tool to automatically generate variable infill for FFF 3D print jobs. The tool is called Strecs, ...

A combined testing approach offers new insights into how the gyroid infill 3D printing pattern contributes to a part’s overall strength.

AIM3D contends that strength tests prove the process’ ability to overcome inhomogeneous strengths of 3D components in X, Y and Z axes, thus coming close to conventional processes such as injection ...

Desiccant is common in 3D printing because the drier plastic filament is, the better it prints. Beads of silica gel are great for controlling humidity, but finding a porous container for them that … ...

The alloy formed under the extreme conditions of 3D metal printing, a new way to make metal parts. Understanding this aluminum on the atomic scale will enable a whole new category of 3D-printed ...

NIST discovers that novel crystal form boosts strength of 3D-printed metal 09 Apr 2025 Quasicrystals formed in an icosahedron shape reinforce laser-printed aluminum airplane parts.

Researchers have developed a way to consistently produce a special type of stainless steel known as 17-4 PH using additive manufacturing, or 3D printing. Using 3D printing for steel and other ...

Engineers from RMIT University have produced a new type of 3D-printed titanium that's about a third cheaper than commonly used titanium alloys.
