Researchers at Hiroshima University have developed a new 3D printing method for tungsten carbide–cobalt (WC–Co) that prevents cracking and damage that often occur with laser powder bed and other ...

Tungsten carbide–cobalt (WC–Co) is prized for its hardness, but that same property makes it unusually difficult to shape. The ...

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

The university's team reports that their approach centers on controlled "softening" of the material rather than complete melting. The process, known as hot-wire laser irradiation, reshapes ...

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

A team of researchers has found a new way to manufacture one of the toughest materials used in industry, opening the door to cheaper, more efficient production of high-performance tools. The material, ...

Bambu Lab's latest flagship 3D printer does a whole lot more than 3D printing for serious makers, and promises to be good at every one of its tasks. The H2D desktop printer can print using two ...

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 ...

Startup Seurat Technologies Inc., which develops laser-powered 3D printers for the industrial sector, today announced that it has raised $99 million in funding. Nvidia Corp.’s NVentures fund and ...

The approach uses 3D printing to produce WC-Co cemented carbides - ultra-hard materials used in cutting and construction ...
