How can 3D printed materials sense their own movements?
MIT researchers have developed a method for 3D printing materials with tunable mechanical properties, which can sense how they are moving and interacting with the environment. The researchers create these sensing structures using just...
Made in India – by Indians: this is the first 3D printed cornea developed in the country
A 3D printed cornea can be extremely useful for treating diseases such as corneal scarring or keratoconus.
The very first 3D printed cornea was developed in 2018 at Newcastle University, USA. Since then, the healthcare...
This 3D printed dual-phase, nanostructured high-entropy alloy would exceed the strength and ductility of other AM materials
High-entropy alloys (HEAs) are alloys that are formed by mixing equal or relatively large proportions of (usually) five or more elements. These multi-component alloys have received considerable interest over the past decade due to...
Meet PYLO, a bike helmet equipped with a face shield airbag, a smart 360-degree surround safety system, a 3D knitted inlay and a 3D printed nylon structure
They say it is a bike helmet, but with all the features described below, it could be a great match for football and hockey players as well. Don't you think?
Remember nFrontier , the product...
Baker Industries, LEAS and GA-ASI to conduct Wire-Arc Additive Manufacturing Study for the production of steel layup tooling
A collaboration between Baker Industries, a Lincoln Electric Company, Lincoln Electric Additive Solutions (LEAS) and General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. (GA-ASI) will lead to a feasibility study of Wire-Arc Additive Manufacturing for the production of steel...
How 3D Printing enables Mattel to support toy research, design, and development of toys
It’s not unusual but it is definitely not systemic yet to see manufacturers producing toys to leverage 3D printing as part of their activities. So far, the famous brand Lego, the startup Little You...
SeaBioComp uses Additive Manufacturing and other processes to develop biocomposites products for marine applications
The ultimate goal of the project is to reduce the use of fossil-based materials in the marine sector by developing bio-based composites that have long-term durability with reduced CO2 emissions and environmental impact on...
New Process to Create 3D Printed Sensors Could Help Predict Weather, Study Climate Change
Through a newly developed digital process, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) scientists have created low-cost plasma sensors for orbiting spacecraft. In contrast to the plasma sensors that get manufactured in a cleanroom, the 3D-printed sensors...
Fraunhofer IGD has found a method to avoid Stair-Step Artifacts in multi-material 3D printing
Stair step artifacts appear around the edges of sagittal and coronal reformatted images when wide collimations and non-overlapping reconstruction intervals are used. In conventional 3D printing processes, they are visually disturbing and can even...
Bosch 3D prints microreactor using technical ceramics
As part of a 3D printing project conducted with the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) and the chemicals company BASF, Bosch has successfully conducted the fabrication of a 3D printed microreactor.
The application is said...
