3D Materials

In another huge step towards fully 3D-printed rocket engines, NASA has successfully tested an igniter prototype made from two metal alloys. Engineers at NASA have been hard at work to produce this component using a new method of laser printing. As…

Mars is a long way away. At its closest, it’s 54.6 million kilometres away (9 months travel). At it’s furthest? 401 million km. This creates some problems for a manned landing, problems we are currently trying to solve. One of…

Graphene, which is a form of carbon, is known for its properties of strength and lightness, especially when used as a 3D printing material. Taking this lightness and strength further, three engineers decided to print the graphene with aerogel, creating…

Today we are going to be talking about the different types of nylons used in 3D printing. Reading our previous posts, you will have seen that nylon is a filament that we particularly appreciate here at 3Dnatives. The ability to dye…
