A geometric model developed through a collaboration between the University of Oxford and the Budapest University of Technology and Economics has just become the focus of one of the most remarkable experiments ever carried out in space. These “soft cells”…

A research team led by The University of Texas at Austin has introduced a new 3D printing technique that could redefine how semiconductor components are designed and produced. The method, known as Holographic Metasurface Nano-Lithography (HMNL), offers a way to…

In one of the most severely affected healthcare systems in the world, a team of doctors and engineers has achieved an unprecedented breakthrough. GLIA, an international medical relief organisation, has designed and produced the world’s first 3D-printed external fixator inside…

What if resin 3D printing could eliminate support structures entirely and make fabrication easier? That is the question explored by researchers at Xiamen University and the University of California, Berkeley. Together, they developed a new method for creating parts from…

The University of Maine is proving that large-scale 3D printing is rapidly becoming one of the most transformative tools in modern infrastructure development. When California-based Kairos Power set out to build its experimental Hermes nuclear reactor in Tennessee, the company…

A new study from the University of West Attica argues that the full potential of additive manufacturing will remain unrealized until designers rethink how products are conceived for 3D printing. Published in Advanced Manufacturing, the research introduces a comprehensive design…

Across the world, designers, engineers, researchers, and artists are turning to 3D printing as a powerful tool for environmental restoration and regenerative manufacturing. Once viewed primarily as a prototyping technology, additive manufacturing is now enabling solutions that support biodiversity, rebuild…

A new chapter in performance cycling has opened with the debut of Speedform, a fully 3D printed titanium road bike developed by British manufacturer J.Laverack and supported by aerodynamic expertise from Loughborough University. Unveiled at the Rouleur Live show in…

When pilots and astronauts go into flight, their bodies are pushed into environments far more extreme than anything experienced on the ground. To better understand how humans respond under these intense conditions, researchers at Texas A&M University, supported by the…

Imagine a future where a medical facility can take a patient’s CT scan, rapidly 3D print their blood vessel model, test how their blood responds, and even use AI to predict their risk of stroke years in advance. This is…

China’s push toward next-generation propulsion reached a major milestone this month as the country’s aviation engine group announced the successful first flight test of its newly developed 3D printed “minimalist” turbojet engine. The achievement signals a significant step forward for…

Most people think of mosquitoes as pests, not as tools for next-generation micro-fabrication. Yet researchers at McGill University have shown that the proboscis of a deceased female mosquito can serve as a biodegradable micro nozzle for high-resolution 3D printing. With…
