3D printing news

A team of researchers at Swansea University have 3D printed a coral-inspired bone graft. What’s remarkable? Their study found that the new material not only dissolves naturally in the body after the repair is complete but that it also promotes…

AI technologies are in almost all industries and are playing an increasingly important role in our lives. In the automotive sector in particular, artificial intelligence is driving progress, accelerating processes, improving safety and enabling the development of intelligent vehicles. Furthermore,…

This week, we have a great lineup of thought-provoking videos related to 3D printing. First up, watch a video from Oregon State University on how their research teams are working on printing reactive material for robots. Second, learn from Professor…

In this week’s #3DExpress, we welcome the wintry winds of December with a rather chilly offering. U.S. army scientists have successfully 3D printed an ice dollhouse, which they hope will open up possibilities for construction 3D printing in cold, remote…

All 3D printers, despite the diversity of technology, must be anchored in one place to print. They can, of course, be transported from place to place, but always by humans: none of them have a mechanism that allows them to…

Formula 1 has long been a fervent adopter of additive manufacturing, but did you know that its American cousin, NASCAR, has also been adopting the technology? A fact that has only been cemented with a new press release from the…

What are the cleaning and curing solutions for 3D printed resin parts? Printing a 3D part is not as simple as pressing the button on your 2D printer. You need to prepare the model, make sure the printer is set…

This week, the Belgian startup BIO INX launched a game-changing new material: BIORES INX, a gelatin-based bioink resin developed for digital light processing (DLP) 3D printing. Bioprinting with DLP has been limited because of the lack of biocompatible and biodegradable…

The U.S. Navy continues to show its interest in additive manufacturing, especially for its submarines. This time, Curtiss-Wright’s EMS Division has announced that it has delivered what it considers to be the first submarine component with a 3D printed impeller…

Biology has long been a source of design inspiration—think of Leonardo da Vinci’s flying machine, a contraption with wings inspired by bats. Today, engineers continue the practice, often integrating models inspired by nature into 3D printed designs. In a new…

2024 has not been the most straightforward one for additive manufacturing. While we have seen incredible applications and innovations throughout the year, there have also been a number of economic difficulties. Notably, we have seen companies like KIMYA closing and…

As the additive manufacturing market continues to evolve, innovation is essential to unlocking new possibilities. This means constantly improving machines and software, as well as developing higher-performance materials capable of meeting the growing demands of users. Something to which French…
