3D printing is a powerful tool for creating all kinds of stuff, but it has its limits. Hobbyist-focused machines that dispense melted plastic through a nozzle can only make parts that are so strong.

The 3D printed microturbine engine developed by Technion - Israel Institute of Technology and PTC software seen here in a cut-away showing the internal structure. One aspect of how industrial 3D ...

Rocket engineering is shifting from painstaking machining and welding to a world where engines and tanks emerge from printers as single, sculpted pieces of metal. Instead of treating 3D printing as a ...

3D printed materials have come a long way in the last decade or so as printers have become more and more mainstream. Printers can use all kinds of different plastics with varying physical ...

Researchers demonstrated the first fully 3D-printed, droplet-emitting electrospray engine. The low-cost device can be fabricated more quickly than traditional thrusters, potentially from on board a ...
