What if you could make 3D printed microstructures of pure gold? This is the goal of research conducted by a group of scientists at the University of Twente in the Netherlands. Using a technology based on the use […]
Jun Kamei is a Japanese designer specialising in biomimic design and materials. A few months ago he presented Amphibio, his final project for the Art Royal College in London, with three 3D printed "gills" for our future underwater. Will […]
Currently anyone with the necessary knowledge of 3D printing could reproduce almost anything. In relation to this, intellectual property in additive manufacturing is an issue that worries more and more within the industry. Companies like Disney have released patents to attack piracy […]
Biorobotics is a laboratory that specialises in the development and study of biorobots that reproduce the mobility of different animals. The goal of their developments is to reproduce certain animal movements. All while gaining the capacities to […]
A team of researchers from the University of Sydney and the University of Wollongong have developed iFix. A pen that through special ink can bio-print a cell structure to help treat eye injuries. They received $ 1.1 […]
3D printing is becoming more and more advanced and implemented in more important sectors. One of these sectors is the medical industry that's opening up for new possibilities and solutions. One of the bigger problems is […]
A student from the University of Waikato in New Zealand, Shalini Guleria, is now seeking to identify the best treatment for all breast cancer patients. She turned to bio-printing to 3D print tumour cells. It would be possible to […]
A team of researchers from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) of Maryland in the United States announced the development of a new 3D printing software tool. A tool that can help in the creation of […]
The University of Minnesota (UMN) McAlpine research group claims to have successfully 3D printed optoelectronic devices using polymeric photodetectors on hemispherical surfaces. These first prototypes could accelerate the development of a 3D printed bionic eye to […]
The additive manufacturing has become a great ally for the extraterrestrial conquest and for the technological development in space. There are multiple applications of 3D printing for arrival in space, but there is one that has […]
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 […]
University of Minnesota researchers have reportedly successfully printed 3D electronics directly on human skin. They claim to have produced functional electronic components on the back of their hands with a low-cost, portable desktop 3D printer. A […]
It is accepted that additive manufacturing disrupts many modes of production, although it is still difficult to compete for the moment with certain conventional methods, the main reason being with speed still considered too slow. 3D […]
Researchers at Vanderbilt University in the United States have developed a technique to detect anomalies that may occur in 3D printed parts. The gold particles are used for their ability to start shining as soon as an […]
BIOLIFE4D, a Chicago-based company that specializes in bio-printing and tissue engineering, recently announced that they have successfully bio-printed 3D human heart tissue. This is the first conclusive results since the $50 million fundraiser by the company […]
French bio-printing specialist, Poietis, has announced a new research agreement with Prometheus, the tissue engineering department of KU Leuven in Belgium. Their goal is to develop bio-printing of advanced therapy drugs in cartilage regeneration. For two […]
It appears that bioprinting is gaining more ground as engineers at the University of Illinois have reportedly developed a new sugar-based biomaterial that could have a significant impact on medical engineering and cancer research. The team […]
The arrival of robots in our daily lives is something that still sounds like science-fiction. A few weeks ago we were surprised when we saw the video of a robot dog, the SpotMini, opening a door, […]
After two years of research, electrical engineers from the Chemnitz University of Technology have succeeded in designing a functional electric motor using additive manufacturing from iron, copper, and ceramics. A multi-material engine that illustrates the full […]
SME is an American professional association that recently unveiled their Medical AM3DP 2018 Annual Report, which provides a global overview of the impact of additive manufacturing in the medical sector - highlighting the importance of technological […]
