Toshiba Machine Announces a Metal 3D Printer Ten Times Faster Than Others on the Market

Posted by in categories: 3D printing, innovation

It’s rare to see technology sectors advance as quickly as metal 3D printing has. Until very recently, the technology was lagging a bit behind other forms of 3D printing.
