When 3D printing helps to enhance breast reconstruction surgery
Across the world, several organizations have been exploring the use of 3D printing for breast implants. While several developments are still in progress, the common thread across these research projects is to provide personalized,...
The iLAuNCH project team relies on AM of large-scale composite structures to build a rocket
To withstand the extreme loads, vibrations and shocks of launch without failure, it is of paramount importance that launch vehicles benefit from scalable production of low-weight and high-strength structures and parts.
To meet this requirement,...
Have you heard about 3D ice printing? It can help create structures that resemble blood vessels in the body
When they say, 3D printing can help create “anything”, this might actually be true. We have witnessed the possibility of 3D printing to process all types of materials from wood, to glass but this...
