3D printing news

Performing complex surgeries, especially those related to the brain or skull, is difficult at the best of times. And they get exponentially harder when it comes to babies and children, especially newborns. In a recent case, 3D printing was able…

Researchers from the Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD) recently introduced a more sustainable 3D food printing approach. By using alternative protein sources including algae, plants, and insects, and combining them with more common nutrient-rich foods such as vegetables,…

Slicers, or slicing software, are an essential tool in 3D printing. This software is able to slice a 3D model and then transmit to the printer which layer it will need to create and deposit. There are currently multiple solutions…

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…
