CSEM, a Swiss technology innovation center, and the Swiss Paraplegic Foundation (SPS) have worked together to develop a 3D printed medical-grade cushion for wheelchairs. Customizable and washable, this device is expected to improve the quality of life of wheelchair users,…

Coastal erosion is defined as the loss or displacement of land along the coastline. The main causes of this natural phenomenon are the depletion of soil organic matter (sand, rock) as well as the degradation of soil structure or problems…

The Wohlers Report is undoubtedly the bible of 3D printing. Every year, this benchmark report is one of the most important resources for those wishing to study key market characteristics and trends. The 2023 edition has just been released and…

D-Shape is the brainchild of Pisan Enrico Dini, an engineer, inventor and CEO of the company that aims to offer and create technologies to construct less expensive and more “beautiful” buildings. Their most important project? 3D printing artificial reefs to…

At the University of Florida, a team of researchers is attempting to reproduce precise blood vessels in the brain using silicone 3D printing. To do this, they have developed a process called AMULIT, or additive manufacturing at ultra-low interfacial tension:…

Though food 3D printing may not have yet convinced all food lovers, it certainly has raised its fair share of questions. For example, is a food 3D printer healthy? Or can it improve the way we eat and respond to…

One of the biggest obstacles to widespread adoption of metal additive manufacturing is that we still have large gaps of understanding about what happens to the material during the process. More specifically, there are few tools which can show what…

It is common knowledge that additive manufacturing is extremely useful right here on Earth, but what about in outer space? For some time now, 3D printing has been considered to be one of the leading technologies for applications related to…

Additive manufacturing is increasingly being used for research discoveries by laboratories and university teams. This is because the technology makes it possible to investigate elements and details that other methods cannot reproduce. Recall, for example, the recent example of an…
