3D printing news

Currently, the world is facing a number of different climate crises. For example, scientists are looking for solutions not only for global warming but also extinction of species, water shortages and food security. Throughout all of these, one of the…

Brightlands Chemelot is one of four innovation campuses located in Limburg, the Netherlands. Here, designers, researchers, and engineers have collaborated to create a fully 3D printed bicycle, one of the first of its kind, using high-performance materials and additive manufacturing…

One of the features of additive manufacturing is that it offers great design freedom to create complex and truly impressive parts. However, creating perfect models can require intermediate steps, such as the use of supports. In 3D printing, supports, as…

Researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have created a 3D-printed robotic hand with touch sensors that can determine the identity of an object with just one grasp. This technology is becoming increasingly important, especially with the aging population…

CSEM, a Swiss technology innovation center, and the Swiss Paraplegic Foundation (SPS) have worked together to develop a 3D printed medical-grade cushion for wheelchairs. Customizable and washable, this device is expected to improve the quality of life of wheelchair users,…

Back in 2020, we introduced you to Dhawan-I, a 3D printed cryogenic engine made by Skyroot Aerospace. Three years later, the Indian company has been working on a more powerful model, unveiling to the public the new and improved Dhawan-II,…

Along with dairy production, the meat industry is now known to account for 83% of agricultural land use and produces 18 per cent of greenhouse gases, including methane and nitrous oxide. What’s more, a study from the University of Oxford…

Today is Sunday, meaning it is time for the week’s top 5 3D printing videos! First up, don’t miss this video on NBC discussing the Artemis II moon launch, which will see humans on the moon for the first time…

With the use of additive manufacturing in the medical field, it is becoming increasingly clear the technology can contribute to a better quality of life. For example, take the case of unprecedented operation that occurred in Austria at the University Hospital of…

The various additive manufacturing technologies available today can seem endless, though they often fall into one of about seven categories, but not all of them. Take, for example, cold spray additive manufacturing. Cold spray is a technique which involves the…

A research team from the Jacobs School at the University of California, San Diego, are developing a new method of 3D bioprinting based on digital light processing (DLP). The project aims to create vascularized 3D-engineered tissues that, although produced in…

Polyether ether ketone, more commonly known as PEEK, is a semi-crystalline thermoplastic that is well known in the manufacturing industry for its mechanical properties. And for some years now, it has been a popular material in the additive manufacturing sector.…
