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…
3D printing is moving further into everyday footwear. adidas has officially unveiled Futurecool, a new lifestyle sneaker that uses advanced additive manufacturing to create a striking, seamless structure designed…
Wearable health sensors have become increasingly common. But the human body creates a surprisingly difficult engineering problem. We move. We sweat. And we have hair. All three can interfere…
For decades, one idea has defined 3D printing: Build an object one layer at a time. Researchers at the University of Utah are challenging that fundamental rule. They’ve developed…
