Overview of Growth Printing Researchers at the University of Illinois have developed an innovative technique called growth printing, which involves the formation of solid objects from liquid resin through…
Advanced Structural Sensing in 3D-Printed Materials Recent research from the University of Glasgow and the University of Sydney has introduced a novel approach to structural monitoring through 3D-printed lattice…
German 3D-printing innovator Xolo has successfully miniaturized the optical core of its Xell system into a compact experimental device known as the Xolography printer. Measuring approximately 14 × 12…
💨 METHANE ISN’T JUST SOMETHING TO GET RID OF. Landfills and wastewater treatment plants can produce methane, and some of that gas ends up being burned rather than converted…
🚽 YES — SCIENTISTS ACTUALLY CALLED IT A “MOSQUITO TOILET.” Rutgers University researchers wanted a different way to monitor what viruses might be circulating in mosquitoes. Instead of only…
🖨️ SCIENTISTS DIDN’T BRING IN A REAL RATTLESNAKE — THEY BUILT ONE. Researchers from The University of Texas at El Paso created a lifelike 3D-printed robotic rattlesnake with help…
⏱️ YOUR 3D PRINTER MIGHT STILL BE GETTING STARTED — THIS ONE IS ALREADY DONE. The custom Minute Man 3D printer, developed by Yan Roetz, crossed a wild milestone:…
🖨️ THE 3D PRINTER STOPS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE BUILD. Researchers at UWE Bristol are exploring a wild combination of metal additive manufacturing and gemstone growth. Using Meltio’s…
🗑️ YOUR FAILED 3D PRINT MIGHT NOT BE TRASH ANYMORE. Broken prototypes, supports, scraps and prints that didn’t come out right can leave makers with piles of plastic. But…
🥽 FROM VIRTUAL OBJECT TO REAL OBJECT. Imagine putting on a VR headset, seeing a 3D object floating in front of you, grabbing it with your virtual hand… and…
