3D printing news

Every day, additive manufacturing is evolving. Unsurprisingly, this also means that it is becoming more and more complicated to master all its applications and technologies. Even for experienced workers within additive manufacturing, this can sometimes lead to difficulties, especially when…

Researchers from the Tohoku University in Sendai, Japan, recently announced the discovery of a new procedure, in which high-performance carbon micro lattice electrodes could be 3D printed for batteries. The newly introduced method that was published as a research article…

We already knew that ants are capable of carrying 100 times their own body weight. But what if we told you that researchers have succeeded in developing a robotic hand that can carry 1000 times its own weight thanks to…

Australian scientists have succeeded in using additive manufacturing to produce scaffolds that could replace conventional silicone breast implants in the future. The scaffold is designed to look like a conventional breast implant and is made of the same material used…

Dutch startup AddCat combines metal additive manufacturing and catalytic oxidation to develop reactors capable of effectively purifying air. The startup hopes to reduce harmful industrial emissions and some of the unpleasant odors found in some industries (for example biogas plants,…

Two of the biggest, global 3D printer manufacturers, Stratasys and 3D Systems, announced today new acquisitions in a sign of the continuing growth of the 3D printing market. Stratasys was first with its announcement that it has signed a definitive…

Another week is over, and its time for another selection of Top 5 Videos about what is new and amazing in the 3D printing universe, so let us waste no time and dive right into it! We start off with…

Dutch surgeons were able to successfully transplant a 3D-printed titanium jaw, which was developed thanks to research conducted by the Netherlands Cancer Institute and Dutch company Mobius 3D Technology (M3DT). The challenging procedure marks the first time a 3D-printed titanium…

Infinite Materials Solutions LLC (Infinite) has announced the launch of a new water-soluble support material that it has put forth as a direct competitor to PVA. Named AquaSys General Purpose (AquaSys GP), the support material has been designed to be…

Fashion brings together several industries, whether it is clothing, cosmetics, or luxury. All sorts of products are being created to embellish and affirm a style, a look, a way of being. In the world of fashion, it is necessary to…

Scientists from Stanford University in California recently developed a new, 3D-printed optical concentrator for solar panels. This pyramid-shaped lens device called Axially Graded Index Lens (AGILE) was designed by engineering researcher Nina Vaidya and is able to increase the capacity…

In a new study, researchers from Rutgers University have outlined what they claim to be a much faster and more precise FFF 3D printing process. The approach is named Multiplexed Fused Filament Fabrication (MF3) and involves a single gantry and…
