Manufacturers rely on tungsten carbide–cobalt for tools that must survive extreme wear. Yet shaping ...

So a local "maker space" has two introductory workshops. One for laser cutting/engraving, the other on 3D printing. Ideally I'd visit both, since I'm clueless in both techniques and I haven't designed ...

Combining laser engraving with 3D printing creates unique, customizable items quickly and inexpensively. Creative projects like edge-lit lamps, kinetic coasters, and wood-inlay magnets showcase the ...

The last decade has witnessed a huge development in additive manufacturing (AM) or 3D printing when compared with its counterpart, subtractive manufacturing. AM enables rapid prototyping, ease of ...

This new metal printing method keeps tungsten carbide insanely hard while cutting waste and skipping extreme heat cycles ...

Scientists based at Hiroshima University have devised a novel way of 3D printing with one of hardest engineering materials ...

A new two-photon polymerization technique combines a relatively low-cost laser emitting nanosecond pulses with a femtosecond laser at reduced power to enable 3D printing of complex high-resolution ...

If you haven’t noticed, diode laser engraver/cutters have been getting more powerful lately. [Cranktown City] was playing with an Atomstack 20 watt laser and wondered if it would sinter sand into ...

The development of cheaper, more powerful lasers has always been a cause for excitement among hackers, and fiber lasers are ...

A 3D printer that uses lasers to build up an object in any order, rather than layer by layer, could produce more advanced designs than is currently possible. Existing 3D printers work by depositing ...

Bottom line: There are other products on the market that can double as both a 3D printer and a laser engraver that don't have the riskiness inherent in a Kickstarter campaign. But Lotmaxx sets itself ...
