A recent case report published in Cureus journal highlighted the use of a novel 3D-printed titanium mesh cage to treat an infected tibial shaft ‘non-union’, a medical term for fractures that take an extended period of time to heal. The…

As you know, more and more additive manufacturing is playing an important role in the world of sports, where it allows for the design of custom-made equipment. Cycling is undoubtedly one of the sports where 3D technologies are most widely…

Today, there are a wide variety of materials that are compatible with additive manufacturing technologies, from thermoplastics to metals, ceramics and photosensitive resins. The largest family of these materials is polymers, which can be found in different forms depending on…

D-Shape is the brainchild of Pisan Enrico Dini, an engineer, inventor and CEO of the company that aims to offer and create technologies to construct less expensive and more “beautiful” buildings. Their most important project? 3D printing artificial reefs to…

Scientists at Swansea University in Wales have developed a solution that they believe will transform the future of plastic surgery. They have developed an additive manufacturing technology capable of creating 3D printed artificial cartilage. This project aims to change the…

Something interesting is brewing at the University of Michigan! A team of researchers and architects have been studying concrete 3D printing in order to develop a construction process that is more efficient than traditional solutions. They claim to have designed…

Did you know, the American Podiatric Medical Association (APMA) surveyed 1,000 US adults and found that 77% of Americans have experienced foot pain? Now, 3D-printed insoles are set to provide relief. The new development by researchers at the Swiss Federal…

At the University of Florida, a team of researchers is attempting to reproduce precise blood vessels in the brain using silicone 3D printing. To do this, they have developed a process called AMULIT, or additive manufacturing at ultra-low interfacial tension:…

For many years, the amount of plastic waste in the world has been rapidly growing. This growing accumulation has a significant impact on global warming. In the construction and architecture sectors, many projects propose to use recycled plastic, as this…

It has been fifty years since the last crewed moon landing, but that does not mean that humanity’s desire to reach for the stars (or planetary bodies) has lessened. In fact, in recent years it seems that we have seen…

ABS or Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene is a thermoplastic polymer that is quite common for industrial applications. It is known especially for its high impact resistance at low temperatures and for creating lightweight parts. Adding to that, ABS plastic is also…

It is once again Sunday, which means it is time for the top 5 3D printing videos of the week! First up, don’t miss this video which investigates how 3D printed guns, or ghost guns, are causing issues for police…
