These spur gears – seen in the image above with a euro cent coin for scale – have been produced in stainless steel to a…
Design is the first demonstration of a magnetic, multi-material pump 3D printed all in one piece. A new miniature pump — compact, valveless, and operated…
In response to the critical shortage of nasopharyngeal (NP) swabs early in the COVID-19 pandemic, the Department of Radiology at University of South Florida (USF)…
Professor of Biomedical Engineering Adam Feinberg and his team have created the first full-size 3D bioprinted human heart model using their Freeform Reversible Embedding of…
Forget glue, screws, heat or other traditional bonding methods. A Cornell-led collaboration has developed a 3D printing technique that creates cellular metallic materials by smashing…
An inexpensive monitoring system with 3D-printed parts and low-cost sensors might not last as long as a commercial one, but it can be just as…
As part of the Artemis program, NASA is returning astronauts to the Moon where we will prepare for human exploration of Mars. Additive manufacturing, or…
From bow to stern, this little boat measures 30 micrometers, about a third of the thickness of a hair. It has been 3D-printed by Leiden…
Scientists have created synthetic soft surfaces with tongue-like textures for the first time using 3D printing, opening new possibilities for testing oral processing properties of…
This video clip shows a 3D printing technique where a printer head scans over each layer of a part, blowing metal powder which is melted…
Custom-fabricated lenses make it easy to attach high-tech microscopes directly to cell incubators. An optical device that resembles a miniaturized lighthouse lens can make it…
The process of building landing pads, habitats, and roads on the Moon will likely look different than the common construction site on Earth. Excavation robots,…
Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have developed a new method of 3D-printing gels and other soft materials. Published in a…
The construction industry is currently facing two major challenges: the demand for sustainable infrastructure and the need to repair deteriorating buildings, bridges, and roads. While…
Hollow, flea-sized blocks can be filled with materials that improve healing. Tiny, 3D-printed bricks have been designed to heal broken bones — and could one…
Additively manufactured fractal structures with closely spaced voids dissipate shockwaves five times better than solid cubes. Tiny, 3D printed cubes of plastic, with intricate fractal…
Forensic scientists at the University of Portsmouth have discovered a new way of presenting fragile evidence, by reconstructing a ‘jigsaw’ of human bone fragments using…
