Jigsaw-like structure of turtle shells strengthens 3D printed objects
New research from the Department of Mechanical Engineering at McGill University in Canada demonstrates how interlocking jigsaw shapes can strengthen 3D printable materials. The material focus is on br…
Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory 3D prints first ever aerospace grade carbon fiber composites
Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) has announced they have successfully 3D printed aerospace grade carbon fiber composites. Their research was published in the Scientific Reports journal an…
3D printing with E .coli to produce greener materials
Researchers Benjamin Lehner, Dominik Schmieden, and Anne S. Meyer from the Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) in the Netherlands, have co-authored a paper exploring an inexpensive method of 3D …
Playing sonic Tetris with 3D printed bricks improves levitation power of sound
Research from the Interact Lab at the UK’s University of Sussex uses 3D printed bricks to simplify the way sound is manipulated. In making the technology more practical, the research enhances ultrason…
Natural inspiration for 3D printing with color uses photonic crystals and sub $1,000 3D printer
Researchers from the University of Colorado present an alternative method of adding color to 3D prints. Rather than using dyes or pigments a new paper published in the academic journal ACS Nano descri…
3D printed polyester filament is just the tonic for drug-releasing implants
Research from the University of Greifswald, Germany, uses quinine, a substance found in tonic water also used to treat malaria, to study 3D printer filaments for their ability to gradually release dru…
Interview with Harvard 3D printing pioneer Jennifer Lewis
Professor Jennifer Lewis and her group in the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences at Harvard University, are behind some of the biggest stories in the 3D printing industry. In 2016 alone Lewis …
Stuck on SLA 3D Printing? New research holds promise for big area additive manufacturing
SLA 3D printing is fast and produces objects at a high-resolution, making it an increasingly useful tool for dental, medical and jewelry applications. Once the 3D design is printed, parts are detached…
3D printed ceramic “butterfly wings” add color to photonic research
In a paper published in Nature Communications, physicists demonstrate the ability to reproduce the reflective structure of a butterfly wing through 3D printed gyroids. The discovery was made through t…
