There are numerous initiatives today showing how 3D printing helps art and history. This can be through creating complex shapes and new works, educating a wider audience, or preserving artefacts. By recreating a ruined monument for example, we preserve its…

Researchers at Massey University have successfully made a new 3D-printer. This printer is special: it can 3D-print new corneas, which can then be used to transplant them into humans. The best part? The printer creates these new corneas from fish scales.…

In Australia, at Monash University in Melbourne, a team of engineers have managed to design, assemble, and test a 3D print rocket engine in just four months. The engine, named Project X, is based on an aerospike nozzle that redesigns…

Refabricator is the new NASA recycling system that is expected to be ready by next year. Created by Tethers Unlimited Inc. (TUI), the system can be used to transform plastic objects and parts into printable materials on board the space…

The detection of cancer early on could mean life or death for many who are diagnosed with it around the world. While many countries have low rates of pancreatic cancer, a new application called the BiliScreen could be a new…

3D printing is a technological trend that is not only designed to continue its developments on Earth, but to also span out to the vast spaces of space. Helping to do this is Made In Space, a Californian company and…

There is nothing that makes one prouder than viewing their alma mater in the news, especially for new innovations in 3D printing. Last month, the University of Central Florida (UCF) and the University of Texas at El Paso (UT) made…

3D printing has been one of the most exciting new technologies for several years now, with its accessibility and popularity growing each day and with new technologies and processes being created constantly. However, do we really know what to expect…

3D printing is a fascinating technology that gives its users unlimited possibilities to further one’s creative aspirations or to provide the push needed to completely revolutionize an entire industry. With the possibilities that 3D printing offers, it is no surprise…

Graphene, which is a form of carbon, is known for its properties of strength and lightness, especially when used as a 3D printing material. Taking this lightness and strength further, three engineers decided to print the graphene with aerogel, creating…

In 2014, 3Dnatives France published a study on recruitment in the 3D printing industry with the goal of showing how technology has led to an increased demand for diverse profiles to join the industry. Recently the Orientation Council, (a body that is…

You may remember Nano Dimension from our interview we did with them not too long ago, but since our interview it looks like they have been hard at work to bring 3D printing to the next level through 3D Bioprinting.…
