Scientists at Berkeley Lab in the US have made a new material that could lead to 3D printable magnetic liquid devices. Today, many essential technologies rely on magnets made from solid materials – for example, magnetic data storage devices or…

A team of researchers at Tufts University has 3D printed a pill that when ingested samples bacteria found in the gut as it passes through the gastrointestinal tract. According to the researchers this is the first non-invasive device to accurately…

There is a reason why the most popular and widely used 3D printing material for FDM printers is PLA. It’s a very easy to print plastic compared to other materials, which makes it the ideal filament for amateurs. Also, there…

At Columbia University, a team of researchers used 3D printing to grow hair! The technology allowed them to easily create plastic molds that were then used to grow hair follicles. A major innovation for the medical sector as it is…

As 3D printing and additive manufacturing become mainstream, an influx of professionals who specialise in this area will be needed. Therefore, a number of universities have already started offering additive manufacturing and 3D printing university degrees. These university degrees will become…

The 3D printing service Sculpteo, has just published the 5th edition of its study entitled ‘The State of 3D Printing 2019’ which provides a comprehensive overview of the additive manufacturing industry worldwide. This year, more than 1,300 people participated in…

Digital Gastronomy is a culinary vision that seeks to offer hybrid solutions. They are hybrid in that they combine traditional cooking with new computational abilities. Researcher Amit Zoran, part of the Digital Gastronomy project, told us how his research in…

The generative design studio Nervous System has collaborated on new 3D printed organ research and has just made the cover of Science Magazine. The studio has always worked at the intersection of science, art and technology. Three fields that have…

A group of researchers from South Africa have successfully completed a groundbreaking operation with the use of 3D printing technologies. In fact, it represents a big advancement for the medical field, as it is the first time a middle ear…

Second Nature is a new project from The New Raw that aims to raise awareness of the environmental issues of plastic pollution and the corresponding challenges of wildlife preservation caused by abandoned fishing nets. Once again, The New Raw is…

At the University of Minnesota, researchers have developed a unique 3D printed transparent skull implant for mice. The skull named the See-Shell can be used to view real-time activity on the brain surface and could provide new insights for human…

As part of a two-and-a-half year mission led by Advanced Research Projects Agency, GE Research launched a $2.5 million project to 3D print a high temperature, high pressure and super compact heat exchanger. This should produce cleaner and more efficient…
