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…
New aerial drone delivery systems for U.S. Marines using 3D printing
New research from California’s Naval Postgraduate School explores the use of 3D printing to develop glider delivery systems for the U.S. Marines. The designs are proposed as an alternative to cu…
3D printed eagle eye from University of Stuttgart gives micro-machines the power to see
A miniature camera made by a team of optical researchers and physicists in Germany uses four 3D printed lenses to mimic the way our eyes, and those of predators, capture light. Occupying a space of on…
Soluble supports and 3D bioprinted bones to patch skulls and heal fractures from the University of Connecticut
The University of Connecticut has created a hydrogel suitable for supporting 3D printed bones. Without such support the bone cells would not be able to hold a form and would perish when exposed to an …
How to 3D print your own bio-bots
A publication in Nature from the Micro & Nanotechnology Laboratory and Department of Mechanical Science & Engineering at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign gives instructions on how t…
The splat morphology of 3D printed metal and solder jetting
New research from the University of Texas looks at liquid metal and the findings have interesting applications for metal additive manufacturing. The study focuses on, “splat morphology.” S…
How 3D printing enables low-cost, lightweight horn antenna
Researchers from South Korea’s Hanyang University have used 3D printing to create bespoke horn antenna. The proposed antenna have particular application in electromagnetic wave research. In orde…
South Korean researchers from UNIST develop new technique for bone repair with 3D printed cells
New research from UNIST (Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology) has developed an approach using stem cells that, when 3D printed, could help the growth of bones. 3D printing these stem ce…
