A consortium of five Belgian companies embarks on a mission to improve heart health in space. Space Applications Services, SCK CEN, QbD Group, BIO INX and Antleron will study heart ageing through the AstroCardia project, and ambition to create a suitable research model for...
VIDEO: 3D Printing material would help create self-cleaning toilets
Since the day we talked about sex on this platform, I knew that 3D printing would make us talk about the topics we expected the least. Researchers have developed a 3D printing material that...
AMGTA LCA reveals that Binder Jetting reduces carbon emissions by 38% – but industry experts have reservations
The Additive Manufacturer Green Trade Association (“AMGTA”), recently revealed the preliminary results of a life-cycle analysis study titled “Comparative Life-Cycle Assessment: Comparison of Casting vs Binder Jetting for an Industrial Part.” As a reminder, the...
How a 3D printed bandage helps deliver treatment for diabetic foot ulcers
Used for a variety of applications in the healthcare industry, 3D printed scaffolds are meeting the needs of treatments we do not always expect. The latest experiment in the field is presented by Researchers...
New “Human bioinks for 3D printing” project aims to replace animal-derived materials
One crucial challenge of 3D bioprinting is the use of suitable materials to enable the 3D printing of living cells which are called bioinks.
The most commonly applied materials in 3D bioprinting are still derived...
NASA’s printed circuits may lead to more 3D printing applications
Engineers successfully tested hybrid printed circuits at the edge of space in an April 25 sounding rocket flight from NASA’s Wallops Flight Facility near Chincoteague, Virginia. Electronic temperature and humidity sensors printed onto the...
Sheffield researchers develop a 3D printed electric motor, in collaboration with the University of Wisconsin-Madison
We recently discovered the ability of Sheffield university researchers to use AM for rocket engine. Today, as part of a research that aims to develop electric motors with less material, those researchers joined forces...
