Freeform has developed a 3D printing system called GoldenEye that is specifically optimized for metalworking. According to ...

Our current level of technological development does not allow us to build things in space. In the best-case scenario, we are capable of assembling stuff in orbit, but the actual build of structures ...

While 3D printing has mostly involved plastic so far, future materials, including one harder than steel, could make a huge ...

A small, unassuming metal object sits on a workbench at the European Space Research and Technology Centre (ESTEC) in the ...

In an experiment that sounds about as safe as bobbing for fries, ESA carried out the first-ever 3D metal printing in space aboard the International Space Station (ISS). Built with Airbus, the Metal 3D ...

As space exploration aims to go further than ever before, space agencies and companies are looking at new ways to sustain longer duration space flights, as well as on other planetary bodies. A ...

The Apollo 13 moon mission didn't go as planned. After an explosion blew off part of the spacecraft, the astronauts spent a harrowing few days trying to get home. At one point, to keep the air ...

Markforged on Tuesday announced that it has added metal printing capabilities to its FX10 machine. Through the new FX10 Metal Kit, the industrial additive manufacturing machine is capable of printing ...

Researchers have come up with a 3D printing method using liquid metal that's claimed to produce structures at least 10 times faster than existing metal additive manufacturing processes, though it does ...

When looked at from a certain angle, space exploration is limited in scope at this time by a single and very important thing: the improper access to supplies. When that problem will be solved, ...
