The World Health Organisation estimates that 10 million people worldwide require surgery to prevent corneal blindness. A further 4.9 million already suffer from complete blindness due to corneal scarring. The cornea is the transparent first layer […]
Researchers at the University of Southern California, Viterbi School of Engineering, have developed a 3D printing material that repairs itself on its own after being fractured or punctured. These materials could be game-changing for many industries […]
Researchers at the University of California, Berkeley, developed a new 3D printer that uses a special light-sensitive resin that solidifies into objects in a matter of minutes. The researchers nicknamed their machine the “Replicator” after the […]
The medical team at Kunming Medical University Hospital in China, in collaboration with the company IEMAI 3D successfully transplants the first clavicle printed in 3D with PEEK. What does this milestone mean for the medical sector? […]
Demand for advanced thermoplastic polymers such as PEEK, PEKK or PEI, compatible with 3D printing has never been as significant as today. Tractus3D leads the way as it was one of the first manufacturers that developed […]
We all remember the Replicator, the Star Trek food manufacturer, able to turn any molecule into edible food and whole dishes. 3D food printing is able to make dishes from different pastes and materials, so it […]
Aether is a startup based in San Francisco which offers AI-enhanced 3D bioprinting. They have collaborated with UCL (University College London) and Loughborough University to develop a new approach to 3D printing nanotechnology. Working Together to Democratise […]
The process of 3D printing glass can seem beyond possible, however this is what researchers at MIT have been working towards. In a paper published in 3D Printing and Additive Manufacturing in December 2018, researchers Chikara […]
