Researchers mimic natural materials with specifically-engineered 3D printable ink
Researchers from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne (EPFL) have developed a novel 3D printing method to fabricate strong and supple composite polymers that possess similar properties t…
Carnegie researchers develop FRESH new method of 3D bioprinting fully-sized human heart models
A team of researchers from Carnegie Mellon University have developed a new method of 3D bioprinting that enables the production of realistic fully-sized human heart models. The scientists’ Freeform …
Harvard scientists develop algae-infused bioink to improve the viability of bioprinted tissues
Scientists from Harvard Medical School have developed a novel algae-based bioink that once 3D printed into soft tissue structures, demonstrates enhanced cell viability. The team formed their bioink b…
Researchers develop 3D printed spiderweb-inspired shatterproof material
A team of Candian researchers from the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Polytechnique Montréal has used 3D printing to design a fabric that can absorb up to 96% of an impact without breaking. …
AMGTA publishes its first study on the environmental impact of metal 3D printing
The Additive Manufacturer Green Trade Association (AMGTA) has published its first commissioned university research paper on the environmental effects of metal 3D printing. The trade group was original…
MIT researchers explore the use of low-temperature 3D printing for titanium medical implants
A team of researchers from MIT, Cornell University, and others have explored a new method of 3D printing with Ti64 powder. The cold spraying technique operates at a temperature far below that of titan…
UCLA researchers use 3D printing to produce early-stage “lab-on-a-particle”
A team of researchers from UCLA has used 3D microprinting to produce what they are calling the early stages of a “lab-on-a-particle”. The printed structures resemble miniature U-shaped cups, or test t…
Grenoble scientists develop novel method of 3D printing controllable magnetic microstructures
Researchers from the University of Grenoble have developed a new way of 3D printing microstructures with deformable magnetic fields. The team’s novel technique involves adding magnetic microbeads to …
UCL researchers fabricate 3D printed antibacterial hearing aids to prevent ear infections
Researchers from University College London (UCL) have 3D printed antibacterial hearing aids which could help prevent ear infections from forming after prolonged use. Fabricated through a Digital Light…
