3D Printing Rocks Heavy Metal
3D Printing Rocks Heavy Metal The promise of 3D printing. Experts call it "the next industrial revolution" that will disrupt industries. They also forecast exponential growth. For 3D printing that future just got a lot closer. According to experts at MIT, 3D printers can now manufacture metal objects quickly and cheaply. 3D metal printing is a game-changer for manufacturing. 3D Printed Plastic 3D printing has been utilized for several decades. But until now the printing substance of choice has been plastic. Consumers and businesses globally 3D print clothing, glasses, toys, jewelry, dentures and even artificial organs. Other substances, particularly metal, have been too expensive and slow to 3D print. New Technological Take-off for 3D Three leading companies, GE, Markforged and Desktop Metal are deploying new technologies that make 3D metal printing practical. Their new technology printers create lighter, stronger and more complex metal parts tha
