Before the COVID-19 pandemic hit the West, Dassault Systèmes and Xometry announced during the 3DEXPERIENCE World event in Nashville, Tennessee that they would be partnering to provide customers with a seamless, integrated way to produce parts that accelerates the concept…

What if you could turn your video game console into a 3D printer? That is the crazy idea of a team of researchers at the Technical University of Denmark (TUD) who converted an Xbox 360 into a 3D printer. They…

Researchers from the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens have developed a 3D printed electrochemical ring (e-ring) that enables diabetics to monitor their glucose levels from a smartphone. This allows the user to monitor their blood sugar levels just by…

In the additive manufacturing market, the user is not immune to potential manufacturing defects, not only wasting time and money, but also sacrificing quality. In order to limit these defects as much as possible as well as automate the production…

In early February, Essentium, Inc announced the results of the second in a series of findings from independent global research on the current and future use of industrial 3D printing. We previously covered the first survey published in 2019, which…

3D printing is one of the fundamental elements of Industry 4.0. But before considering the role of additive manufacturing, it is first necessary to understand what Industry 4.0 is. Industry 4.0, or the fourth industrial revolution, consists of the automation…

Last year, SmarTech Analysis released its latest report on ceramic 3D printing, estimating that the technology will be worth approximately $4.8 billion by 2030. A real opportunity is gradually emerging for the industry, with additive manufacturing offering concrete advantages in…

This week we are introducing you to LaserFactory. This manufacturing solution uses a laser beam machine to create robots, drones and other types of electronic devices, completely autonomously. This is an industry 4.0 system that may well in the future…

Earlier this week, Aleph Farms, announced that they had successfully developed the world’s first slaughter-free ribeye steak, by 3D bioprinting real cow cells. This achievement was the result of a collaboration between the Israeli start-up and Technion, the Israel Institute…

In Sweden, Uppsala University and the company Graphmatech have worked together to develop a rather unusual copper powder in order to create denser 3D printed parts. Using a laser fusion process, the researchers modified the metal’s surface with graphene. Thanks…

Researchers from the University of South Australia have developed 3D printed esophageal stents that could revolutionise the delivery of chemotherapy drugs for patients with esophageal cancer. 3D printing has become of increasing importance in the medical field as it allows…

Singaporean researchers have developed a novel method of 3D printing vegetables using food hydrocolloids. Previous three-dimensional food printing (3DFP) methods have largely relied on freeze-dried vegetable powders. This method, however, is centred around the use of fresh and frozen vegetables…
