3D printing has been touted as being a manufacturing cure-all for a whole host of different applications. However, sometimes, operators are going too far in the way they see 3D printing. Dr Bryony Core, industry expert...

Using human blood cells, Brazilian researchers have succeeded in obtaining hepatic organoids ("mini-livers") that perform all of the liver's typical functions, such as producing vital proteins, storing vitamins, and secreting bile, among many others....

Every major progress achieved in the Additive Manufacturing industry comes with an array of challenges that might slow the wider adoption of this technology in industrial environments. An accurate observation demonstrates that, at the...

A digital 3D model of real-world object or environment which was just an imaginary concept years ago is now a reality—all thanks to 3D scanning technology. 3D scanning is a technology which can analyze real-world objects...

HARP for high-area rapid printing, is a new technology that can manufacture products on demand. According to researchers from Northwestern University the futuristic 3D printer is so big and so fast it can print an...
