It\u2019s finally Sunday again! We have, as we do every Sunday, selected the most interesting and exciting videos from the world of 3D printing<\/a>! Our first video today shows you how scientists were able to create a 3D printed prototype of an artificial human hand<\/a>! Then, you learn more about 4D printing technologies. Following that, you\u2019ll see a report on the increasing threat of 3D-printed ghost guns<\/a>, and then you see the process of creating an authentic-looking 3D-printed cobra. Our last video from this week’s top five videos shows how 3D scanners can be used on motorbikes. We hope you\u2019ll enjoy this week\u2019s collection and wish you an amazing Sunday!<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Top 1: 3D Printed Artificial Muscles<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

The following video shows how it is possible to mimic the muscles with the help of 3D printing. Corrado De Pascali, a PhD-student at the Italian Institute of Technology in Genoa, and his colleagues developed a 3D printed prototype of an artificial hand. The team created what is called GeometRy-based Actuators that Contract and Elongate (\u201cGRACE\u201d), by using a flexible resin that enables them to stretch and contract, just like human flesh and muscles.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
