In April 2013, Skylar Tibbits, founder of the MIT Self-Assembly Lab, hosted a TEDx conference in which he introduced a new concept to the 3D printing process. For the first time, he introduced a fourth dimension […]
Would you like an orange juice squeezed into a 3D printed cup? This is the project imagined by the architect Carlo Ratti who developed a rather special juice bar, this one allows for orange peels to […]
Soft robotics is one of the subfields of robotics dealing with constructing robots from highly compliant materials, similar to those found in living organisms. This field looks at the way in which living organisms move and […]
Last week, it was reported that a group of UCLA engineers received a $1.5 million grant to make environmentally friendly concrete - by environmentally friendly they mean that it will incorporate carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, […]
PLA, also known as polylactic acid or polylactide, is a thermoplastic made from renewable resources such as corn starch, tapioca roots or sugar cane, unlike other industrial materials made primarily from petroleum. Due to its more […]
The ORGANIC shoe collection is a collaboration between Lucie Trejtnarová, a postgraduate student at Tomas Bata University in Zlin, Czech Republic, materials manufacturer, Fillamentum and the design studio, Malai Design & Materials. As its name suggests, […]
Aeromet has reported that its A20X patented aluminium alloy for casting and additive manufacturing has surpassed the 500 MPa UTS (Ultimate Tensile Strength) mark, meaning that it is possibly the strongest aluminium powder for additive manufacturing […]
Spectroplast AG, the SLA silicone additive manufacturing service company just completed a €1.38 million funding round led by Munich-based investor, AM Ventures. We told you about Spectroplast in February in an interview with co-founder, Petar Stefanov. […]
3devo is a Dutch startup created in 2016 that has developed three machines to recycle plastic and transform it into 3D printing filament. Therefore, it offers a real office solution based on the concept of a […]
At Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden, a team of researchers announced they succeeded in 3D printing parts using a wood-based ink, perfectly imitating the ultrastructure of the natural material. This is good news for the […]
The Catalan technology centre, Eurecat, recently presented an innovative application of continuous 3D printing to personalise textile. Indeed, by adapting the Blackbelt machine, it can 3D print patterns on fabrics, and this in a seemingly infinite […]
There is a reason why the most popular and widely used 3D printing material for FDM printers is PLA. It's a very easy to print plastic compared to other materials, which makes it the ideal filament […]
We have often reported on the advantages of high-performance materials such as PEEK, ULTEM or PEKK. Particularly in the medical field, some of these materials offer many benefits due to their biocompatibility. A while ago we […]
Biogelx is a spin-out from the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow, engaged in the development and production of synthetic bioinks for 3D cell cultures and bioprinting applications. When we talk about this sector and its progress, […]
In our last ranking about 3D printed orthoses, we shared with you some of the projects and products being enhanced by 3D printing technologies. The ability to customise these medical devices in order to offer a […]
EOS has released four new materials to open up new applications in metal additive manufacturing. The four new metal materials are EOS StainlessSteel CX, EOS Aluminium AIF357, EOS TitaniumTi64 Grade 5, and EOS Titanium Grade 23 […]
Nefilatek is a young Canadian company that has just launched its range of 100% recycled 3D printing filaments. Founded in 2018 after a successful Kickstarter campaign, the startup aims to offer more environmentally friendly materials and […]
The research firm Ameco Research has just released a report on the global 3D printing filament market – they have predicted that from 2017 to 2024, the market will grow from $ 255 million to $ […]
Last year we were telling you about the Cabin of Curiosities, a 3D printed building project a little out of the ordinary from the American company, Emerging Objects. This 3D printed hub is composed of 4,500 […]
Glassomer is a German startup that has developed a 3D glass printing technology. A method that we had already discussed in the case of an MIT project. As a result, this young company based in Freiburg, […]
