Nanoscale Fabrication – Micropyramids
The living cells are in a field full of pyramids on a micro scale, each “open pyramid” containing a cell that can interact with others. The findings of this new technology research is published in Small journal this month. Most…
Research into Light and Durable 3D Printed Fractal Structures
We have seen quite a few examples of 3D printed objects being tweaked with different structural software and algorithms – for example by hollowing out or adding new parts in order to make them lighter and/or more durable. On that…
Scaling Up With the Spiderbot 3D Printer
Ben Peters – an MIT student studying new fabrication techniques at the Media Lab’s Mediated Matter group – is responsible for developing an interesting 3D printing project called Spiderbot. Ben’s objective is to break down the boundaries set by conventional…
Simulated Melted Moon Rocks Used For 3D Printing
3D printers and their many applications are going far and wide. In August we shared a story of the tech being applied in warzones with the US Army’s Expeditionary Lab, but the next phase of the journey might take 3D…
A Novel Hybrid Printer Aids R&D for Implantable 3D Cartilage Tissue
Bioprinting has seen a number of significant developments in the last 12 months, but a momentous step forward in this area has been announced recently by Tao Xu et al of the Wake Forest Institute for Regenerative Medicine. The premise…
Creating A Whole Other Dimension – Enabled by 3D Printing
Researchers at MIT have used 3D printing to fabricate a three-dimensional, lightweight metamaterial lens that focuses radio waves with extreme precision. Essentially this is tech geek heaven. Metamaterials are manmade, with intricately designed structures that are capable of bending electromagnetic…
3D Printing a Vaccine?
The pace at which the 3D printing industry is developing is truly amazing. The range of applications available today is already very impressive and more and more emerge on an almost daily basis. Companies in the medical sector are among…
UK Government Agencies Reveal Details of £7million 3D Printing Competition
Following the original announcement of up to £7million worth of funding into 3D printing, the Technology Strategy Board (TSB), in conjunction with the Engineering & Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC), Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) and the Economic and…
NASA's Next Generation of Rockets to Benefit from 2 Primary Advantages of 3D Printing
NASA’s Space Launch System (SLS)* Program was brought into effect towards the end of last year with the aim of supporting space exploration. The project is focused on developing a heavy-lift rocket — managed by the Marshall Space Flight Center…
