3D printing news

While 3D printing has been around for decades, silicone 3D printing technology is something relatively new. The material is compatible with photopolymerization and material extrusion, but there are relatively few manufacturers making silicone 3D printing solutions. That does not mean…

The American Department of Defense (DoD) has been one of the biggest drivers of growth for additive manufacturing adoption for military applications. This has been shown through many different use cases in the American military in particular and it has…

Embroyonic development, or more simply the development and formation of an embryo mostly through cell division and cellular differentiation, is one of the most important biological processes on Earth. This basic step is the cornerstone of all multicellular life on…

3D printing can be used to overcome some of the key challenges facing the food industry. For example, specific shapes, flavors and consistencies can create special foods for children or people with swallowing problems, or to achieve an individual nutrient…

Prosthetics, hearing aids, and wheelchairs — these are just a few of the numerous tools that can be customized and improved thanks to 3D printing technology, benefiting people with disabilities. 3D printing can serve blind or low vision people too,…

Additive manufacturing in the medical sector is continuously improving and progressing. Innovations and applications are flourishing, demonstrating the potential of 3D technologies to improve the daily lives of many patients. The pharmaceutical field is no exception, and the gradual launch…

Over the past year or so, we have heard many different stories about the utility of additive manufacturing in the defense sector. Now another one has come from the land down under. Aurora Labs has announced that it has secured…

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…
