The first and second place winners in NASA’s Vascular Tissue Challenge have created 3D printed lab-grown human liver tissues. The two teams of scientists, both from the Wake Forest Institute for Regenerative Medicine (WFIRM) in Winston-Salem, North Carolina were able…

In the orthopedic sector and more broadly in medicine, additive manufacturing has become an essential technology. Whether for the production of prostheses, orthoses or implants, 3D printing allows medical devices to be manufactured in a short period of time and…

Once again, 3D printing has proven its worth in the field of construction. Nonprofit housing organization, Habitat for Humanity, has started a new 3D-printed home in the city of Tempe, Arizona. The three-bedroom, two-bath, single-family house will be made using…

When most people think of 3D printing, the process that comes to mind is FDM, or Fused Deposition Modeling. An extrusion-based method, FDM requires just a build plate, an extruder (or multiple) and a filament for users to print their…

This week, discover the Mars Science City project in Dubai! Outside of Dubai, in the desert, the United Arab Emirates wants to build a 177,000 square meter city that will replicate living conditions on Mars. To build the houses, the…

Everyday life in the big city can sometimes be quite stressful, monotonous and frustrating. Especially in the past year and a half, when quality of life has had to be restricted and all social contact minimized. To give people back…

3D printing technologies are becoming increasingly popular. This becomes particularly clear when taking a look at the all the industries that are now using additive manufacturing. These include not only those you would expect, like aerospace, construction and medicine, but…

Because of their ease of use, functionality and material compatibility, 3D pens are becoming increasingly popular in the additive manufacturing market. Based on the FDM process, 3D pens are for some an alternative to desktop 3D printers, although the finishes…
