Researchers are taking 3-D printing and 3-D modeling to a new level by using augmented reality to allow designers to design in physical space.
A look at the phenomenon of 3D printing worldwide, including a delicate resin pavilion in China, classical-design-inspired concrete beams in Italy and buildings that “think” in Germany.
Each scaffold was made by 3D printing a replica of each patient’s ear using a Z Corporation Spectrum Z510 3D printer. The scaffolds were then populated with living cells from each patient.
Russian physicists are developing a new kind of ultrasonic 3D printing that uses levitation to lift small particles of foam plastic. The technique could eventually be used to 3D print hot or chemically aggressive solutions and substances.
Researchers refine method of making bio-ink droplets stick to each other, enabling 3D printing of highly complex biological structures with a wide variety of cell types using inkjet printers.
A team from MIT’s Self-Assembly Lab demonstrated its innovative rapid liquid 3D printing technique by manufacturing tote bags and lamp shades in minutes.
Dutch designers have created a bioplastic made from algae that can be 3D printed into virtually any product, creating a system that has the potential to completely replace synthetic plastics.
Researchers have developed a biocompatible ink for 3-D printing using living bacteria.
Netherlands-based studio's initiative combines 3D printing with recycling to re-design urban space.
Thanks to reinforced, pre-stressed concrete and 3D-printing techniques, the bridge (which is primarily intended for cyclists) can safely bear the weight of 40 trucks. In total, the structure took just three months to build.
Using advanced 3D printing techniques, a Dutch scientist can implement a network of blood vessels. According to him, it could ensure long-term survival, effectively changing how we engineer human tissue.
The bicycle bridge is being 3D printed from pre-stressed and reinforced concrete and will measure 8 meters in length and 3.5 meters in width when it is set up.
People may one day be walking around with 3D-printed bones in their bodies, according to new research from Canada. The artificial bones can lower the risk of infection.
Researchers at BYU are the first to 3-D print a viable microfluidic device small enough to be effective at a scale much less than 100 micrometers.
Researchers from Israel have developed a new kind of photoinitiator for 3D printing in water. The photoinitiators could be used to make bio-friendly 3D printed structures.
