Will GEFERTEC’s 3DMP Metal 3D Printing Process Make 3D Printing Large Metal Structures Affordable?
German company GEFERTEC’s 3DMP process is a very interesting metal 3D printing technology. We profiled the company and its wire fed 3D printing technology a few months ago. Rather than focus on inexpensive parts (inkjet) or fine mechanical small parts (DMLS, SLM) their wire arc based technology is focused on large 3D printed metal parts. How […]

Functionally Graded Materials Are Key to Fast, Effective Multi-Material 3D Printing
A buzzword in the 3D printing industry lately has been “multi-material.” Desktop 3D printers have been released that are capable of printing with more than one material in one build, but industrial 3D printing also has a lot of multi-material development happening. This includes composite materials, such as fiber-reinforced polymers. But what Kevin Eckes, Ph.D, […]
