Researchers in the UK and the U.S. have developed a 3D printed device with a triggerable and remotely controllable system for on-demand drug delivery using an integrated macroscale magnetic field. Wit…
WSU team 3D prints drug-delivering contact lenses
Just weeks after Newcastle University researchers made headlines for their world-first 3D printed corneas, it appears a team at Washington State University (WSU) has also been keeping its eye on 3D pr…
ETH Zürich leads first in-human study of custom 3D printed oral drug delivery device
Dr. Jean-Christophe Leroux, Professor in Drug Formulation and Delivery at ETH Zürich, has led the first in-human study of 3D printed drug-eluting mouthguards. Conducted in collaboration with researche…
3D printed soft robot walks through water and straight to the heart of Rutgers research
From the video showing a new 3D printable material, you would be forgiven for thinking that Rutgers University–New Brunswick researchers have created life. Grabbing, dropping, brushing and walking acr…
Russian Academy of Sciences leads unprecedented high-resolution 3D printing research
Two-photon lithography is a method of 3D printing that can produce objects on a molecular scale. Valuable to the fields of medical research, i.e. devices for drug delivery, tissue regeneration, chemic…
3D printed microneedles present pain-free alternative to syringes
With an FFF 3D printer researchers at the University of Texas at Dallas (UT Dallas) now have a new low-cost method of making microneedle arrays – a small syringe-alternative patch for administer…
Rutgers 4D printing makes shapeshifting, drug delivering, soft robots
4D printing is method of 3D printing that allows an object to transform. In many cases, 4D printing has been used as a kind of “origami effect” where a flat, 3D printed net is tuned to fol…
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 …
UNH develops 3D printable metamaterial for camouflage and drug delivery
A weaving chain of interlocking shapes demonstrates a new material design that has the potential to create smarter medical and electronic devices. Created by researchers at the University of New Hamps…
MIT 3D printed “cups” deliver multiple vaccines in a single shot
A new 3D printing method from the Langer Lab at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) has developed a way of making vaccines that releases multiple doses of a drug over a controlled period of ti…
