Microbots May 3D Print Your New Liver
3D bioprinting has made new headway recently with the publication of a paper titled “Untethered micro-robotic coding of three-dimensional material composition” in Nature Communications in January. Researchers at Brigham and Women’s Hospital and Carnegie Mellon University have teamed up to…
NASA Takes 3D Printing to Next Logical Conclusion: 3D Printed Trees
In August of last year, we released a story about how chief scientist of synthetic biology at the NASA Ames Research Center, Lynn Rothschild, and her PhD student, Diana Gentry, were working on a project to 3D print “biomaterials out…
Need to Detect Mercury in Your Water Supply? There’s an App for That
You’ve got to love Aydogan Ozcan. The UCLA professor is coming out with new laboratory equipment that relies on accessible technology every few months now. He and his team have previously released a system for detecting Albumin and a smartphone…
Quebec Research Consortium Launches AM Project for Aerospace
2014 is seeing the aerospace industry kick its adoption of 3D printing into high gear, first with the project announcements made by America Makes and now with Canada’s Consortium for Research and Innovation in Aerospace in Quebec (CRIAQ) 100th project,…
SIMBIO Centre Scientists Get Down and (not) Dirty with 3D Printed Soil
Scientists at Abertay University have found a way, with 3D printing, to study soil without getting their hands dirty. The abundance of life in soils can stagger the mind just as quickly as contemplating the universe considering there is more…
NASA’s Goddard Center Pursues the Many Space Applications of 3D Printing
You may hear about some of the more game changing developments occurring at NASA with regards to 3D printing, such as the SpiderFab project, the 3D-printed pizza, or the NIAC project for molecular bioprinting. But, while those applications may grab…
German Scientists 3D Print Lightweight Material Stronger than Steel
Innovation in the 3D printing industry is coming from all sides now, with some of the most important developments occurring in material science. The more materials we can print, the more useful the technology becomes. What many users of the…
Can Organs Be 3D Bioprinted? A Stem Cell Trachea Will Tell
In four limbed creatures such as human beings, the trachea is the windpipe that lets the air we breath flow into the lungs: just like life, it is fragile. Without it we could not breath, nor speak, nor live. Many…
What Might the US DoD Want with 3D Printing?
After first looking at the America Makes institute back when it was called the National Additive Manufacturing Innovation Institute, I began wondering what the Department of Defense (DoD) and the defense industry want with 3D printing. If the Center for…
