MIT create adaptive 3D printing process using light
Researchers at MIT have developed a method of altering 3D printed objects once printed. The technique involves using light in order to adapt the chemical structure of a 3D printed material. This allow…
ORNL 3D prints nanoscopic materials with electron beam precision
Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), Tennessee, is known for 3D printing large objects, such as their airplane part that made it into the Guinness World Book of Records and the 3D printed vehicles th…
Making the strongest material ever: 3D printing graphene at MIT
Through studying the geometry of strong structures, MIT researchers are now one step closer to 3D printing graphene. By comparison, 2D graphene is better at conducting electricity than copper wires, t…
Gentle Bot: 3D printing a robot with feelings
3D printing is enabling strong advances in the field of soft robotics. New research from Cornell University has created robotic hands that have sensory feelings. Known as the Gentle Bot, the soft robo…
3DPI spoke to the man behind the 3D printing enabled portable tractor beam
Tractor beams, capable of controlling objects using soundwaves, are no longer the stuff of science fiction or science labs. Thanks to over two years of experimentation from Asier Marzo, and his associ…
3D bio-printing advances as CWRU improves PLA ‘scaffolding’ used in medicine by adding graphene
New 3D bio-printing research shows that combining materials could be the secret to 3D printing bones and organs. A paper from Case Western Reserve University (CWRU) in Cleveland, Ohio, describes resea…
Fixing skulls and fighting cancer – the future of 3D bioprinting
Through a collection of three theses recently made available on Google Scholar, 3DPI attempt to give our readers a view of what 3D printing might look like in the future. Two papers from the Johns Hop…
3D printed dog nose advances national security
Researchers are using a 3D printed dog nose to detect “explosives, narcotics, pathogens, or even cancer.” An article published this month in peer reviewed academic journal Scientific Repor…
ARL insight into synthetic biology and advanced 3D printing materials
The US Army Research Laboratory (ARL) are at an advanced stage of with their synthetic biology research. The work could see bacteria being used to send signals and sense in a way similar to computers,…
