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…

Formula 1 has long been a fervent adopter of additive manufacturing, but did you know that its American cousin, NASCAR, has also been adopting the technology? A fact that has only been cemented with a new press release from the…

What are the cleaning and curing solutions for 3D printed resin parts? Printing a 3D part is not as simple as pressing the button on your 2D printer. You need to prepare the model, make sure the printer is set…

This week, the Belgian startup BIO INX launched a game-changing new material: BIORES INX, a gelatin-based bioink resin developed for digital light processing (DLP) 3D printing. Bioprinting with DLP has been limited because of the lack of biocompatible and biodegradable…

The U.S. Navy continues to show its interest in additive manufacturing, especially for its submarines. This time, Curtiss-Wright’s EMS Division has announced that it has delivered what it considers to be the first submarine component with a 3D printed impeller…
