Anaheim, Calif. — Mack Prototype Inc., a subsidiary of Mack Molding Co., has invested $150,000 in a new 3D printer to meet demand for large prototypes and production-grade parts. "One of the big gaps ...

On Thursday, the German automaker said that the new Stratasys J750, a commercial 3D printer, will be utilized in the manufacture of tail light covers in automobiles. The Stratasys J750's lure lies ...

In 3D printing, part orientation refers to how a model is positioned on the print bed during fabrication. This decision directly affects the final part’s strength, accuracy, surface quality, and the ...

A study conducted jointly by ORNL and IACMI attempted to 3D print developmental tooling to compression mold sheet molding compound (SMC) using high-temperature carbon fiber-reinforced thermoplastics ...

Desktop Metal’s shift in applications from prototyping and tooling to high-volume production of end-use parts ostensibly ushers in the next wave of mass manufacturing technology. The metals additive ...

In just a few days, ORNL researchers used powder bed printing to create this lunar rover wheel based on a NASA design. Researchers at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory, in ...

Basketball was invented in 1891, and aside from switching to the now-iconic orange ball around the 1950s (and ditching an OG version with laces, akin to a football), not a whole lot has changed about ...

Prototyping the shape of a new design with 3D printing is not a difficult task. However, accurately simulating color, material and finish, or “CMF,” can take serious time and money. KeyShot 10 3D ...

Part 2 of an end-to-end story about the design and manufacturability of a golf putter looks at reverse engineering and additive manufacturing parameters for this project. The author explains how an ...

A team of researchers has, for the first time, fully 3D printed an array of light receptors on a hemispherical surface. This discovery marks a significant step toward creating a 'bionic eye' that ...
