The holidays are a great time to sit back, relax, and watch the world happen around you. Few areas of technology have seen as much development in one year as that of 3D printing. Undoubtedly, the most dramatic and challenging has been printing with metal. News: Dutch designer Joris Laarman has developed a 3D-printing technique that allows a robot to draw metal structures in mid-air. Joris Laarman's MX3D-Metal method combines a robotic arm typically used in car manufacturing with a welding machine to melt than any other technology like the inkjet printers that inspired 3D printing in the first place. The startup's printer process begins with an electric furnace up top that melts metal ingots. That process is quite energy efficient. The printer runs off LAS VEGAS -- You'll soon be able to print your own refrigerator magnets and more. MakerBot announced Tuesday here at the 2015 International CES that it's using new PLA Composite Filaments made with composites of real metal, stone and wood. Basically, these 3D printing in its current guise is kinda cool, but also limited by its use of plastic — there's only so many combs you can print before you get bored. An affordable 3D printer that uses metal would be a major step up in practicality, which is exactly Currently, the commercial 3D printing landscape is dominated by contraptions that create everything from toys to watchbands out of plastic. But there’s another manufacturing revolution in the making: metal 3D printing. Big companies like Rolls-Royce and .

Sales of 3D printers capable of manufacturing metal parts are growing rapidly, according to a new report by 3D printing industry analysts Wohlers Associates. Most 3D printers, particularly on the consumer side, primarily use polymers as their base to Although the world of 3D printing is hurtling through milestones at the moment, to a large extent the technology still remains in its infancy. If you thought it was all Etsy jewellery and plastic toys, though, think again. Joris Laarman has created a free Some use ceramic, metal or other materials. There’s even a 3D printer that forms items out of chocolate or cheese. In a way, the term “3D printing” is misleading. It sounds like a 3D printer somehow folds ordinary paper into objects – like origami. Usually the nozzles are assembled from 20 different parts. Also known as additive manufacturing, 3D printing can create the units in one metal piece, through a successive layering of materials. The process is more efficient and can be used to create .
