What if you could create coffee cups from vegetables? This is the idea behind this project led by the design studio Crème that grew squash in molds to make biodegradable cups, called HyO-Cups. The reason for us talking […]
As 3D printing is becoming more and more widely spread. Various FDM machines are being produced to accomodate the need. For these machines there are the "standard" plastics such as pure ABS, PLA and PET. 3D printing is worked […]
Additive manufacturing, unlike traditional machining techniques, makes it possible to produce parts with complex geometries whose total weight can be optimised using a numerical method called "topology optimisation". This technique literally consists of "removing" the material where […]
While we thought we had seen some crazy 3D printing materials, BMW and the MIT Self-Assembly Lab may have taken the cake after revealing a project that they have been working on for inflatable liquid material. […]
Six years ago, the American manufacturer Formlabs unveiled their first stereolithography 3D printer that was made to be accessible to as many people as possible, with a relatively low marketing price. Since then, the company has […]
A team of researchers from Viterbi University in Los Angeles has found a new way to control sound and vibrations through 3D printing. The team has developed 3D printed metamaterials that are able to block sound […]
3DEO are a unique new metal 3D printing company that are combining scalable aspects of traditional manufacturing, and applying them to 3D printing. Though they don't currently sell their own 3D printers, 3DEO's technology allows them […]
3D printing is a rapidly growing technology with many advantages over traditional manufacturing methods. It however has its problems, including that 3D printing cannot be effectively used for mass production, and is limited in speed and accessibility. […]
If you've been on the internet in the last year, you may have seen the viral clip of a 3D printed house built in just 24 hours. Apis Cor are a Russian company who built a […]
This week's Top 5 Videos showcases some of the most unbelievable 3D printing updates we've seen in recent times. These include incredibly detailed full-color 3D prints by Mimaki, amazing 3D printed prosthetics by Open Bionics, and […]
Once you have bought a 3D printer and have moved on to start printing, you need to know what material you want to work with. Different materials have different characteristics and are suited to certain parts. […]
Over the last year we saw a tremendous amount of activity in the metal 3D printing market, and 2018 is proving to be no exception. Sandvik, an engineering and tools group based in Sweden, have announced […]
In 2004, Professor Behrokh Khoshnevis of the University of South Carolina attempted the first 3D printed wall. Since then, this innovation has exploded and it's now possible to build a house in just 20 hours! The […]
Bugatti are without a doubt one of the most extraordinary car companies to ever exist. Their cars are faster than anything else, whilst still being luxurious and aesthetically stunning. Recently however, Bugatti have announced that they […]
Researchers at the Zurich Institute of Technology (ETH Zurich) have developed a bio-ink for 3D printing bacteria. This breakthrough could lead to the production of biomedical cellulose or biological materials capable of destroying toxic substances. Researchers have developed […]
Despite a host of different 3D printing technologies arising since its inception, the purpose has remained the same: convert a digital model into a physical one. However, each technology has different techniques, developments, and results. We […]
3D printing innovations seem to be occurring at a faster and faster rate. One of the most exciting innovations are the amount of new materials being developed for 3D printing. Recently however, we've seen chocolate, metal, […]
Researchers at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory have successfully 3D-printed transparent glass. What's more, this test was successfully conducted at room temperature. Reports from the test claim glass structures with composition gradients can also be produced […]
Start-up Freshmade 3D from Ohio have recently announced that they have created a material strong enough to create 3D-printed bowling balls from. The material, called AMClad, is an "isotropic Engineered Sand Composite (ESC)", that they say […]
Animals around us have been a source of inspiration in our books, films, other media for centuries. This trend continues today, showing no signs of stopping. Now, cutting edge technology is being used in conjunction with […]
