3D printing news

Additive manufacturing is increasingly making its mark in the fashion industry, particularly appealing for its creative freedom and customization. From 3D-printed clothing by Mark Zuckerberg to 3D-printed silver jewelry and 3D-printed flip-flops by Asics, 3D printing continues to surprise with…

As we know, 3D printing has profoundly transformed the medical field, making it possible to produce customized models ranging from anatomical replicas to fully patient-specific implants. This is where the young startup Simpath comes in. Since its founding in 2023,…

Tennis balls don’t last forever. Their lifespan depends on the type of ball and style of play: pressurized balls typically last one to three weeks for moderate, recreational use, but only one to three hours in constant, competitive play. Over…

With so many 3D design and modeling tools available, finding the right fit can be overwhelming. Enter BRL-CAD, an open-source, cross-platform software built on constructive solid geometry (CSG)—a method that delivers highly accurate, optimized renderings. While useful for general CAD…

In 2023 alone, motor vehicle crashes claimed the lives of 40,901 people in the United States, according to the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Fatality Analysis Reporting System. While many factors influence whether a crash is fatal—such as whether passengers are…

After accidents that damage tendons, a patient’s mobility is often severely limited. Hand injuries, in particular, can take a long time to heal and usually only recover fully through physiotherapy. For therapy, experts are increasingly using so-called exoskeletons, which are…

Specialized has introduced a new saddle that allows elite cyclists to stop choosing between comfort and performance. The S-Works Power EVO with Mirror is an upgraded version of the brand’s well-known Power series. Designed for riders who shift their weight…

Researchers at Caltech have developed a novel approach to metallurgy that enables precise control over both the chemical composition and microstructure of metallic materials, significantly enhancing their mechanical resilience. Traditionally, however, metallurgy has followed a very different path. “If you…

Resins play a central role in many 3D printing technologies. In fact, the very first 3D printing method—stereolithography(SLA)—relies on a UV-sensitive liquid resin that solidifies when exposed to ultraviolet light. This process, known as photopolymerization, is a hallmark of resin…

Three brothers from Scotland are taking on a monumental challenge that shows how 3D printing is not just for the workshop but for the open ocean! Ewan, Jamie, and Lachlan Maclean are currently nearing the end of their 9,000-mile (approximately…

A group of South Korea’s leading companies and research institutions is driving a major breakthrough in space technology. The Korea Institute of Industrial Technology (KITECH), Korea Aerospace Research Institute (KARI), KP Aero Industries, AM Solutions, and Hanyang University have partnered…

3D printing, though it hasn’t yet reached its full potential, is already starting to significantly change healthcare professionals’ practices. In the medical field, where traditional methods struggle to meet the growing demand for affordable, custom-made devices, additive manufacturing offers innovative…
