Thyssenkrupp and Wilhelmsen launched a 3D printing joint venture aimed at providing 3D-printed spare parts to the maritime industry. Mechanical parts wear out and break. It happens to cars, planes, ...

It wasn't long ago that 3D printing was almost mythical, with limited technology and capabilities. Now, we're inundated with ...

That's why scientists have devised a method of 3D-printing wireless sensors right into the things. Named MechSense, the system was developed at MIT by a team led by mechanical engineering graduate ...

Understanding the basic limitations of 3D printing will allow issues to be corrected before they are submitted for an analysis and a quote. While 3D printing has a reputation for offering an infinite ...

Chances are that if you’ve traveled on an Alstom train, that train has one or more of its parts created by 3D printing, also known as additive manufacturing. In fact, we’ve just reached the milestone ...

Researchers created a system that enables makers to incorporate sensors directly into rotational mechanisms with only one pass in a 3D printer. This gives rotational mechanisms like gearboxes the ...

The U.S. military is increasingly using 3D printing to cut costs and strengthen its logistics chain. Across the services, ...
