What if you could eat a 3D printed steak ? This seems surprising, but that is just what the Italian researcher Giusseppe Scionti of the Polytechnic University of Catalonia in Barcelona has proposed. He developed a project and modified a 3D fused…

In the UK, Big Bang Fair researchers have implemented a canteen 3D food printer. The 3D printer creates a variety of dishes for students. The goal is to encourage them to pursue a career in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics). Teaching 3D…

At Macquarie University in Australia, a team of researchers conducted a one-year study. Here they researched the benefits of 3D printing in schools. As well as 3D design in the Makerspaces of primary schools. More than 500 students were observed and…

Research and Markets recently published a study of the additive manufacturing market applied to the aerospace sector; the consulting firm announces a growth rate of 23.01% between 2017 and 2021. A forecast that shows the full potential of 3D technologies in…

Clean2Antarctica is a Dutch association whose aim is to promote the circular economy and to encourage organisations and individuals to develop sustainable alternatives to our current way of life. To do this, the team has gone on an expedition to the…

Preserving our oceans has become a real concern: more and more species are threatened by human pollution. It is urgent to propose solutions to protect this marine ecosystem. 3D printing can be one solution. We can see some progress made with…

3D printing has evolved in recent years. We know of examples such as the 3D printing liquid and 4D printing etc. Now Harvard researchers present us with their newest progress; 3D printing with sound waves. Based on acoustic or acoustic levitation they have been able to create…

The Industrial Research Center of Quebec (CRIQ) recently acquired an Arcam EBM Q10plus 3D printer. It is an industrial machine based on electron beam melting technology. This acquisition should allow researchers to accelerate the development of lower jaw implants. Plus further transform the…

Yale University in the United States regularly publishes its “Journal of Industrial Ecology” in which the impact of the industry on the ecology is analysed, this year it has been focused on 3D printing. In collaboration with researchers from MIT and…

What if you could make 3D printed microstructures of pure gold? This is the goal of research conducted by a group of scientists at the University of Twente in the Netherlands. Using a technology based on the use of a laser, researchers…

Jun Kamei is a Japanese designer specialising in biomimic design and materials. A few months ago he presented Amphibio, his final project for the Art Royal College in London, with three 3D printed “gills” for our future underwater. Will this make is possible…

Currently anyone with the necessary knowledge of 3D printing could reproduce almost anything. In relation to this, intellectual property in additive manufacturing is an issue that worries more and more within the industry. Companies like Disney have released patents to attack piracy in 3D printing and…
