What if the business end of a 3D printer were only a few micrometers wide? An experimental micro-3D-printing setup takes this concept to an extreme by using an optical…
Researchers at the University of Amsterdam have developed an innovative method for 3D printing complex structures directly from ice. This experimental technique offers a unique approach to additive manufacturing,…
Researchers at McGill University have developed a novel additive manufacturing technique that repurposes the proboscis of deceased female mosquitoes as a functional nozzle for high-resolution 3D printing. This method,…
Imagine treating a targeted area of skin with a tiny patch covered in microscopic needles—and then having those needles dissolve after delivering the medicine. Researchers at Queen’s University Belfast…
The LightMake L4: A Paradigm Shift in Desktop Additive Manufacturing The desktop 3D printing landscape has traditionally been defined by single-printhead architectures, with dual-head systems representing a modest step…
The Shift from Standardized Cells to Custom Geometries Historically, product design has been constrained by the physical limitations of standardized battery formats, such as AA, AAA, 18650, and pouch…
A Paradigm Shift in Oncological Surgery: Patient-Specific Pelvic Reconstruction A multidisciplinary surgical team in Israel recently completed a complex reconstruction for a 15-year-old patient, demonstrating the transformative potential of…
Berkeley Humanoid Lite: 3D-Printed Gearboxes Drive a $5K Humanoid UC Berkeley’s open-source humanoid isn’t just a printed plastic body. The team is 3D printing the cycloidal gearboxes inside the…
3D printing has produced everything from tiny prototypes to houses. Now the University of Maine is pushing the technology into a much rougher environment: 🌊 THE OPEN OCEAN. Researchers…
Multicolor 3D printing can create incredible models. But it can also create something nobody wants: a surprisingly large amount of wasted filament. Every time many multicolor systems change from…
