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…

ZOZOFIT is a fitness technology brand and Japan’s largest fashion e-commerce company, recognized worldwide for its use of new technologies in its products. Its latest innovation is the world’s first affordable 3D body scanning technology, the suit they have named…

BlueWeave Consulting, a strategic consulting and market research firm, has released a new study on the high-performance polymer 3D printing market, showing very positive results for this segment. Indeed, it is expected to reach a value of $184.5 million by…

Researchers at the University of Arizona have received a $1.2 million grant from the Office of Naval Research’s Defense University Research Instrumentation Program to  develop 3D printing materials capable of withstanding hypersonic speeds: Mach 5 or higher – five times…

We are always discovering new and interesting 3D printing materials. Just recently, we told you about how researchers are using bacteria to essentially grow strong and porous 3D printed composite materials. And today we have yet another one: eggshells! This…

The UK Space Agency is investing in several projects to advance space travel, and one of these initiatives involves 3D printing technologies! Researchers at the University of Bangor (Wales) have received £200,000 (approx 240,000 USD) from its Space Exploration Fund…

In honor of International Women’s Day, once again we wanted to put women in the spotlight! Today, more and more women are mastering 3D technologies, but above all they are using them in their daily activities, in all sectors. This…

Every year, millions of people around the world suffer tissue damage due to disease, trauma or injury. During surgical procedures, medical professionals primarily use stitches to promote tissue healing. However, a failure during surgery can lead to complications and may…

Additive manufacturing can be used in a wide range of fields and applications. Bioprinting in particular has shown real promise in the medical field. In this process, cellular structures are produced from a bio-ink to create skin, tissue and organs.…
