3D-printed construction continues to grow in popularity worldwide, and the latest example is an ambitious new low-rise apartment building in Germany. The project will incorporate cutting-edge 3D printing technology – as well as timber – and will be use… Continue reading 3D-printed apartment building provides affordable housing in Germany
If you can 3D-scan it, you can 3D-print it – and Matter and Form has announced a super-versatile new way to do so. The Three system creates photorealistic, high-detail, full-color 3D scans of objects from coins to cars, and potentially beyond.Continue … Continue reading Full-color 3D scanner accurately models objects of “any size”
[Proper Printing] often does unusual 3D printer mods. This time, he’s taking a CPU cooler made for a Raspberry Pi with some heat pipes and converting it into a 3D …read more Continue reading CPU Cooler in a Printer’s Hot End
Cement company Progreso has completed Guatemala’s first 3D-printed building. The prototype dwelling has been designed to withstand local seismic activity and combines modern 3D-printing construction techniques with traditional local craftsmanship in th… Continue reading Earthquake-resistant house 3D printed in just 26 hours
Prostheses that replace lost fingers are typically complex, expensive devices, the cost of which often isn’t covered by medical insurance. The student-designed Lunet, on the other hand (no pun intended) is simple and can be made from open-source plans….

MVRDV recently completed work on a retail store for luxury jeweler Tiffany’s in Singapore’s Changi Airport. The project is designed to catch the eyes of weary travelers with a vibrant 3D-printed coral-inspired facade, which was created using recycled p… Continue reading Recycled fishing nets form Tiffany’s 3D-printed coral-inspired facade
We love watching 3D prints magically grow, through the power of timelapse videos. These are easier to make than ever, due in no small part to a vibrant community that’s …read more Continue reading Even 3D Printers Are Taking Selfies Now
The warm and rather stinky heart of any hacker’s lair is the soldering station, where the PCB meets the metal (solder). A good soldering station lets you get on with …read more Continue reading Neat Soldering Station Design Has Workshop & Portable Versions
Researchers have used human neural stem cells to 3D print functional brain tissue that mimics the architecture of the cerebral cortex, the brain’s outermost layer. The breakthrough technique has the potential to provide individualized repairs to brain … Continue reading 3D-printed tissues using stem cells may offer repair for brain injuries
Organ transplants can save lives, but they’re plagued by long waiting lists and high chances of rejection. In a major step towards creating new organs on demand, Stanford scientists have now received a contract and funding for experiments to 3D print h… Continue reading Stanford to bioprint human hearts for implantation into live pigs
