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…

The medical sector has been greatly benefiting from the use of 3D technologies in recent years. One such example can be seen through one of the Chinese leaders in the field of orthopedics, Wuhan Biying Biotechnology Co., Ltd. Together with…

Within resin 3D printing there are a number of different manufacturing methods. Processes like SLA, DLP or MSLA are all available, differing depending on which light source or process by which the photopolymer solidifies is used. In addition, many large…

Famous sports brand ASICS recently made its debut on the 3D printed footwear market by introducing its first flip-flops that were designed via additive manufacturing. Although these sandals look like they’d be ideal to be worn around the pool or…

For some time now, it has been clear that the dental laboratory business has experienced a notable shift, with even more change yet to come. Valued at $31.13B according to a report from Future Market Insights, it is expected to…

It’s finally Sunday again! We have, as we do every Sunday, selected the most interesting and exciting videos from the world of 3D printing! Our first video today shows you how scientists were able to create a 3D printed prototype…

Based in Treviso, Italy, Elastic Interface has used additive manufacturing for the first time to design chamois for cyclists, i.e. inserts that are placed inside the shorts to maximize rider comfort. Called NX3, these inserts have a unique design and…

IperionX has announced that it is collaborating with Oak Ridge National Laboratory in order to further develop low-cost titanium alloys for additive manufacturing. As part of a U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) approved user agreement, the two will be working…

Researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have succeeded in 3D printing the first completely digitally manufactured plasma sensors, that can be used for space satellites. They used vat polymerization to create these plasma sensors, which are also known…

More than ever, we are seeing that governments are investing in additive manufacturing as a way to promote more sustainable, clean manufacturing. The United States especially has been pushing the technology as a part of its build back better framework.…
