Scientists from Lawrence Livermore National laboratory (LLNL), a U.S. federal research facility located in California and founded by the University of California, Berkeley, have announced that they have developed a new method print living microbes in controlled patterns using 3D…

Artificial Intelligence, and more specifically, machine learning, is finding its way through various applications in the additive manufacturing industry. This time, researchers from MIT have applied the data-driven nature of machine learning to automate the process of discovering new 3D…

When the pandemic shut down the world last year, a number of industries were severely impacted. However, 3D printing proved to be more robust than many others. That being said, a few studies have shown that though it did not…

At the Israel Institute of Technology, Technion, scientists have created a network of 3D-printed blood vessels that would be able to supply the necessary amount of blood to an implanted tissue. Still in the research stage, this project could have…

Incus, an Austrian provider for lithography-based AM solutions has announced a partnership with the European Space Agency (ESA), OHB System AG and Lithoz GmbH in a joint project using Incus’ Lithography-based Metal Manufacturing (LMM) process. The project will test 3D…

If you are a regular reader then it will come as no surprise to you that over this past year, 3D printing has been flourishing. Besides the many mergers, acquisitions and companies going public, there have been several reports that…

The American giant General Electric (GE) has announced the signing of a partnership with Fraunhofer IGCV and Voxeljet to develop a new 3D printer capable of designing the molds of certain key components of the Haliade-X offshore wind turbine. The…

In 2020, a team of scientists from The University of Hong Kong (HKU) launched ArchiREEF, a startup on a mission to restore marine life in the coral reefs near Hong Kong. We previously covered ArchiREEF’s 3D-Printed terracotta tiles but there…

With China currently consuming 30% of the world’s meat, it’s no wonder a food tech company tackling global meat supply and sustainability has emerged from the region. After debuting its 3D printed cell-based pork meat at a tasting event for…

In recent months, 3D printing and space have often been associated. And for good reason, many additive manufacturing has proven itself to have numerous applications for interstellar voyages. For example, 3D printing is increasingly being used as part of spacecraft…

The research firm IDTechEx has published a new report on the ceramic additive manufacturing market: it is expected to be worth $400 million by 2032, a seven-fold increase which is being driven by more and more players banking on this…

In Germany, researchers from the Technical University of Braunschweig are working on the development of a new concrete 3D printing process. Instead of currently available technologies, they are relying instead on injection to design more complex shapes. To accomplish this,…
