3D printing news

3D printing technologies can also have an impact on lingerie: Dutch designer Lidewij Vera Arí van Twillert used Artec 3D scanning solutions and 3D printing to design made-to-measure bras, fully adapted to each woman’s morphology. She started from the observation…

There is a lot going on with 3D printing materials! Recently, a team of researchers has succeeded in 3D printing with silica aerogel, the most insulating material of all. Known for being rather brittle, this material is often reinforced with…

We have seen by now how additive manufacturing can inspire designers to create shapes and forms that were impossible to make with conventional manufacturing methods. New designs are emerging not only in fashion, but also architecture. With the ever increasing…

nTopology is a New York-based 3D printing software startup that was founded in 2015. The company launched nTop Platform in 2019, to empower engineers to design even the most complex pieces. nTopology has just announced that it had successfully secured…

SHINING 3D, a leading company covering the 3D digital workflow from 3D Digitizing, through Intelligent Design, to Additive Manufacturing has been a pioneer in the industry since 2004, the year it was founded. Covering the entire AM workflow from 3D…

Additive manufacturing has a key role to play in the medical sector, whether for surgery, dentistry, orthopaedics, etc. It must be said that it offers many benefits to doctors, who, using this technology, are able adapt devices to patients, offering…

The construction sector has been exploring the potential of additive manufacturing for the past several years. Today,  the idea of a 3D printed house does not shock people anymore, as we have seen more than one 3D printed building by…

NASA is preparing to send men to the Moon – and then further to Mars – as part of its Artemis space exploration mission. For this space voyage, the American agency has decided to rely on metal additive manufacturing, more…

UpNano is a young company based in Vienna that has recently developed a high-resolution micro-scale 3D printing technology. Based on a 2-photon polymerization process (2PP), the new technique is capable of producing plastic parts with a volume ranging from 100…

Some COVID-19 testing methods are not the most pleasant: virological testing (RT-PCR) can be very uncomfortable for many patients. A nasal swab is inserted quite deep into the nose to take a nasopharyngeal swab. A team of engineers from the School of Engineering…

The field of bioprinting has experienced multiple breakthroughs in recent years, one of which is the possibility to generate tissue structures using bioinks and 3D bioprinters. One of the main hurdles in this field is keeping these tissues alive. As…

This week we found the top 5 videos about 3D printing and the way additive manufacturing is changing production. The technology has infiltrated many sectors, from medical to automotive – check our selection of the week to keep up with the innovations! If you enjoy these, you…
