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…

The origin of the use of ceramics goes back to ancient Greece, initially created for the creation of pots or plates for food, and based on clay cooked at temperatures of up to 500ºC. Later, around the 19th century, the…

A team of scientists from the “Foundation for Research and Development of Science” presented their research work in 3D bioprinting. More precisely, their research is aimed at creating a bionic pancreas to fight diabetes. The foundation, which aims to help…

4D printing is an upcoming form of additive manufacturing with effects that continue beyond the print. It is similar to 3D printing  in the sense that an object is also built layer by layer. However, the object can then change…

nScrypt, headquartered in Orlando, Florida designs and manufactures high-precision industrial micro-dispensing and direct digital manufacturing equipment. It has announced that it is currently developing a metal 3D printing solution that should provide customers with detailed metal parts. The parts produced…

Additive manufacturing has reached a significant number of sectors and industries, subsequently offering important advantages in terms of productivity, costs, customisation and lead times. In the field of dentistry the technology creates solutions adapted to the needs of each patient. It…

The Media Lab at MIT is renowned for applying additive manufacturing to some of the most unusual and inspiring projects. In January, we reported on MIT researchers developing the G3DP2 system, capable of 3D printing glass. The Massachusetts Institute of…

Designer Hubert Chen has designed a compression sleeve that integrates 3D printed patterns, called Safe Landing Garment (SLG). An accessory that athletes can wear around their knee to ensure a safe landing and reduce the risk of injury. Thanks to…

Oral implantologist, researcher and inventor Dr. Mario Kern has developed the Extended Anatomic Platform (EAP), a patented process for creating metal 3D printed dental abutments. An abutment is used as a connecting element for bridges, dentures and implants. The platform…
