A new bio-printing project at Australia’s Griffith University is intended to improve treatment of SLIL wrist injuries. It will make use of 3D printed scaffolds to re-grow ligament and bone tissue in the wrist, potentially saving the mobility of patients and preventing osteoarthritis.
A researcher at Nebraska-Lincoln University has been awarded a major grant by the National Science Foundation. Prahalada Rao will be developing a new data-driven 3D printing process, that could eliminate flaws in metal parts.
A team of researchers at TU Chemnitz has succeeded in fabricating the first fully 3D printed electrical motor, after over two years of research. The motor was put together using an advanced 3D printing technique that uses viscous pastes, simultaneously…
Carnegie Mellon researchers have developed a new open-source 3D bio-printer for under $500. They put the system together by modifying a desktop FDM machine with a special large-volume syringe pump extruder, and are hoping that its accessibility will en…
MELD Manufacturing Corporation, a subsidiary of Aeroprobe, has pioneered a new metal 3D printing technique. The patented MELD process uses pressure and friction instead of melting to create high-performance metal parts, without the need for lasers or a…
At Oak Ridge National Laboratory, the world’s first commercially available medium/large-scale thermoset 3D printer has just been unveiled. It was produced in partnership between ORNL and Magnum Venus Products, and it will improve production of molds and other structures.
A team of researchers based in Singapore have studied the SLM 3D printing process in-depth, to find a creative way to improve its results. They were able to use in-process engineering of the micro-structure of metal parts, to increase their ductility a…
A top chef from the Netherlands will soon be opening a new restaurant, which will be the first permanent one in the country to have 3D printed food on the menu. Jan Smink hopes to use 3D printing technology to develop exciting new dishes, and the restaurant will also be used to demonstrate his collaborator byflow’s Focus 3D printer.
A major new collaboration has been announced that should see the development of 3D printing technology in the bio-technology sector in Asia. The Singaporean 3D printing initiative NAMIC will partner with a Chinese hospital and a Taiwanese applied resea…
Joris van Tubergen, the Dutch industrial design engineer who created the Z-Unlimited add-on for Ultimaker 3D printers, has created a device for 3D printing on eggs. It’s the perfect 3D printer accessory for Easter!
