Due to the continuing COVID-19 pandemic,  more than ever we are aware of how harmful and easily transmissible bacteria and other microbes are on surfaces. The mats that adhere there, some of which are slimy, are called biofilms and are…

There is no doubt that the additive manufacturing sector is booming. According to the recent study released by Allied Market Research, the industrial 3D printing market is expected to reach a value of $107.7 billion by 2031, representing a Compound…

To design furniture, structures or even buildings, 3D printing is slowly becoming a popular manufacturing method. And innovations in this sector have been becoming more and more common. Now, in Israel, researchers at The Hebrew University in Jerusalem have developed…

Accessibility, especially in academia, has been a topic of conversation for quite some time. People with a wide range of disabilities have the right to certain accommodations in order to allow them to work or study at the same level,…

At Carnegie Mellon University, located in Pennsylvania, engineering researchers claim to have succeeded in 3D printing microstructures of ice. They plan to use these structures as sacrificial templates, allowing them to create internal channels or conduits with the highest finesse…

We in the 3D printing industry have known for some time that the technologies can be used to strengthen supply chains and more. This became even more obvious during the pandemic when 3D printing was a critical part of resolving…

Scientists from the University of Cambridge have developed what they claim are intelligent 3D printers capable of quickly detecting and correcting errors, no matter the design nor material. More specifically, the engineers were able to develop a machine learning algorithm…

In recent years, wind power has been developing around the world in order to provide a more sustainable alternative for electricity production. In the US for example, total annual electricity generation from wind energy increased from 6 billion kilowatthours (kWh)…

Performing complex surgeries, especially those related to the brain or skull, is difficult at the best of times. And they get exponentially harder when it comes to babies and children, especially newborns. In a recent case, 3D printing was able…

Researchers from the Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD) recently introduced a more sustainable 3D food printing approach. By using alternative protein sources including algae, plants, and insects, and combining them with more common nutrient-rich foods such as vegetables,…

Every day, additive manufacturing is evolving. Unsurprisingly, this also means that it is becoming more and more complicated to master all its applications and technologies. Even for experienced workers within additive manufacturing, this can sometimes lead to difficulties, especially when…

Researchers from the Tohoku University in Sendai, Japan, recently announced the discovery of a new procedure, in which high-performance carbon micro lattice electrodes could be 3D printed for batteries. The newly introduced method that was published as a research article…
