Besides cost and quality, time-to-market is becoming a more and more critical factor for the success of a product. A key contributor to product development cycles is the time required to make ...

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 ...

[Andreas Bastian] has been working on a device that turns an off-the-shelf laser cutter into something capable of selective laser sintering of powdered plastics into 3D objects. He’s put in a lot of ...

Building prototypes and finished parts in a machine from powdered thermoplastics and metals that are cured by heat from a laser. From CAD drawings that have been cross sectioned into thousands of ...

Renewably sourced biomaterials and lower sintering temperature result in a more sustainable substrate for powder bed fusion technologies requiring less energy use and a carbon footprint 89% smaller ...

In the late 1980s, Binder Jetting (BJ), or powder-liquid three-dimensional printing (3DP), was developed by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Licensing this technology to several sectors ...

We’re all familiar with FDM 3D printing, and some of the more well-heeled or adventurous among us may even have taken a faltering step into the world of SLA printers. But for most of us there’s a step ...
