A 3D-printed cement paste could one day be used to make buildings more resilient to natural disasters, claim US researchers. The paste actually gets tougher the more it cracks. That would make it an invaluable new material.
A team of US researchers have, for the first time, fully 3-D printed an array of light receptors on a hemispherical surface. This discovery marks a significant step toward creating a "bionic eye".
Hong Kong researchers have achieved a ground-breaking advancement in materials by successfully developing the world's first-ever 4D printing for ceramics, which are mechanically robust and can have complex shapes.
The titanium microbots could one day provide a minimally invasive method for delivering therapies in humans.
The first 3D-printed concrete house in the world is to be built in Eindhoven, Netherlands this year. It will be a single-storey house and it's expected to be ready for occupation in the first half of 2019.
The first human corneas have been 3D printed by scientists at Newcastle University, UK. It means the technique could be used in the future to ensure an unlimited supply of corneas.
Researchers at MIT have presented a concept for what could be the acme of eco-friendly futuristic logistics: autonomous, electric, 3D-printed boats that can even self-assemble into other floating structures.
Engineers have created a 3D-printed smart gel that walks underwater and grabs objects and moves them. The watery creation could lead to soft robots.
Australian metal additive manufacturing company Titomic today announces the launch of the world’s 'largest' metal 3D metal printer at its state of the art facility in Melbourne, Australia.
A team of researchers in South Korea have developed a 3D printing platform for creating customized food items. The technology can be precisely control the structure of food at a microscopic level.
A team of UK researchers has developed a special fluid gel that can be used as a medium for suspension of biological material. This will solve a problem faced by scientists attempting to replicate soft human tissue.
Two companies recently announced the release of a small electric car whose every visible component is 3D printed except the chassis, seats, and glass.
The 12 metre-long stainless steel bridge will be the world’s largest 3D printed metal structure. The finished structure will be opened to pedestrians and cyclists in Amsterdam.
Three-dimensional printed cars will soon find their way to driveways and cul-de-sacs all across the world as the first mass-produced vehicle of its kind aims to revolutionize the auto industry.
ICON and New Story are working together on affordable 3D-printed housing for developing countries, and can print a home for $4,000 in a day.
