First up, watch a video from Oregon State University on how their research teams are working on printing reactive material for robots. Second, learn from Professor Patrick Feugier as he explains how his team 3D printed an abdominal aorta for advanced surgical applications. Switching gears, watch a video from Vision Miner, and find out how the company leverages additive manufacturing to create parts for helicopters. Fourth in line, we have a video on a 3D printed model of a property to showcase the project to potential buyers. Finally, check out a video from Shining 3D Dental demonstrating how to create a digital smile. As always, happy watching.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Top 1: Oregon State University is Working on 3D Printing Robots<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Ever seen a 3D printed material that moves like it\u2019s alive? Researchers at Oregon State University are making it happen with shape-shifting materials called liquid crystalline elastomers, or &#8220;soft motors.&#8221; These amazing creations can crawl, fold, and snap into action right after printing. From revolutionizing robotics to transforming medical implants and drug delivery, the possibilities are endless. How will these materials impact robots? Watch the video to find out.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/AELLaL5zGEk?si=H5a_3asEXpJUM5pM\" width=\"700\" height=\"400\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\">\ufeff<\/span><\/iframe><\/p><div class=\"dnati-inside-article-leaderboard\" style=\"text-align: center;\" id=\"dnati-1852354491\"><a data-no-instant=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/eu.snapmaker.com\/products\/snapmaker-u1-3d-printer?utm_source=3dnatives&#038;utm_medium=pr&#038;utm_campaign=u1launch2025&#038;utm_content=u1preorder\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"a2t-link\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"850 x 150px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.3dnatives.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/03\/850-x-150px-scaled.jpeg\" alt=\"\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/www.3dnatives.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/03\/850-x-150px-scaled.jpeg 2560w, https:\/\/www.3dnatives.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/03\/850-x-150px-600x106.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/www.3dnatives.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/03\/850-x-150px-1200x212.jpeg 1200w, https:\/\/www.3dnatives.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/03\/850-x-150px-768x136.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.3dnatives.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/03\/850-x-150px-1536x271.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www.3dnatives.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/03\/850-x-150px-2048x361.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/www.3dnatives.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/03\/850-x-150px-160x28.jpeg 160w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" width=\"850\" height=\"150\"   \/><\/a><\/div>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Top 2: Learn About a 3D Printed Abdominal Aorta<\/h3>\n<div class=\"group\/conversation-turn relative flex w-full min-w-0 flex-col agent-turn\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<div class=\"flex-col gap-1 md:gap-3\">\n<div class=\"flex max-w-full flex-col flex-grow\">\n<div class=\"min-h-8 text-message flex w-full flex-col items-end gap-2 whitespace-normal break-words text-start [.text-message+&amp;]:mt-5\" dir=\"auto\" data-message-author-role=\"assistant\" data-message-id=\"06bd9777-276e-4d14-8b99-5dd7df1aadaf\" data-message-model-slug=\"gpt-4o\">\n<div class=\"flex w-full flex-col gap-1 empty:hidden first:pt-[3px]\">\n<div class=\"markdown prose w-full break-words dark:prose-invert light\">\n<p>In March 2023, Professor Patrick Feugier teamed up with 3Deus Dynamics for an endovascular training session featuring a groundbreaking 3D printed aortic aneurysm simulator.
