Harvard solves nature’s composite materials puzzle with rotational 3D printing
Composite materials, found naturally in teeth and shells, or synthetically as reinforced concrete, car tires and plywood, rely on the arrangement of fibers to create superior strength. In man-made obj…
TU Delft’s 3D printed metamaterial hip puts a spring in the step
Metamaterials are materials engineered with properties that allow them to behave outside, or “beyond”, their nature. They come in many different forms with varying capabilities, including …
Study finds 3D printed titanium scaffolds better than current bone-grafting treatments
At Charité–Universitätsmedizin Berlin, “Europe’s largest University clinic,” researchers are working to prove that, in specific cases, 3D printed titanium-mesh scaffolds offer a bett…
Freeze – Imperial College London 3D prints soft tissues using cryogenics
The main challenge of synthetic tissue is fabricating it in a way that tricks the body into believing that it has been there all along. As a recent preprint from Stanford University shows, even CRISPR…
LLNL discovers new piece of two-photon lithography by turning it on its head
Improving the delicate process of 3D printing features smaller than the width of a human hair has, as you can imagine, many parameters to consider. To widen the applications of the method, new materia…
New Zealand researchers reinvent the heat exchanger with 3D printing
With the potential to shakeup the design of everything from air planes to refrigerators, Dr Tim Huber and Professor Conan Fee have developed a new metal 3D printing methodology for making high-perform…
3D printed micro-ships get a drug test from leading U.S. universities
In a development reminiscent of science-fiction, microscopic, 3D printed ships have proved capable of treating damaged brain tissue. The latest device to seemingly receive shrink-ray treatment is the …
3D printing increases memory of flexible Silicon chips 7000 times
The U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) and American Semiconductor have combined traditional manufacturing techniques with 3D printed circuitry to produce a flexible Silicon-on-polymer chip. Bes…
Purdue engineers develop safer method of 3D printing explosive material
Researchers from Purdue University, specializing in energetics, thermodynamics and additive manufacturing, have invented a method of depositing energetic materials like nanothermites using additive ma…
