A new type of 3D-printed lattice structure has surprised researchers with its strength and light weight. It uses two different lattice structures merged together to eliminate the weak points normally found in these complex shapes.Continue ReadingCatego… Continue reading 3D-printed titanium lattice is 50% stronger than WE54 aerospace alloy
What’s being hailed as the world’s tallest 3D-printed building is being readied for assembly in a remote Swiss village. The White Tower from researchers at ETH Zurich will be formed from over a hundred columns, with a performance space sat on top.

The secret to cranking out a furniture-sized metal frame in minutes is Liquid Metal Printing (LMP), demonstrated by researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. They’ve demonstrated printing aluminum frames …read more Continue reading Metal 3D Printing Gets Really Fast (and Really Ugly)
The most compelling show of contemporary basketball skill at last year’s NBA All-Star Game didn’t necessarily come from one of the players dribbling a ball … it came from a ball itself. That ball was Wilson’s Airless basketball prototype, a futuristi… Continue reading Wilson Airless basketball bounces to market for four-figure price
Researchers at TU Wien have developed a new way to grow cartilage from stem cells and guide it into basically any shape required. The breakthrough could lead to better ways to patch up injuries.Continue ReadingCategory: Medical, ScienceTags: Cartilage,… Continue reading Replacement cartilage can grow in any shape with 3D-printed “spheroids”
Basketball has changed a lot over the years, and that goes for the sport as well as the ball itself. While James Naismith first prescribed tossing soccer balls into peach …read more Continue reading 3D Printed Basketball Could Be a Game Changer
Silicone is a useful material for many purposes. Traditionally, creating something out of silicone required injection molding. That’s not difficult, but it does require a good bit of setup. As …read more Continue reading 3D Printing Silicone Parts
Researchers have used a novel technique to 3D print brain tissue whose cells developed into functional neurons that communicated with each other in a matter of weeks. They say the approach could be used to study healthy and unhealthy brains, test drugs… Continue reading First 3D-printed functional human brain tissue grows like the real thing
Among the more than 8,000 lb (3,600 kg) of cargo that blasted off from Cape Canaveral on the 30th of January, bound for the International Space Station, were two firsts: the world’s first metal 3D printer designed especially for use in orbit and the fi… Continue reading Space firsts: Metal 3D printer & surgical robot on their way to the ISS
[Indeterminate Design] tried to 3D print a screw compressor some time ago but wasn’t satisfied with the result. He’s trying it again, and you can check it out in the …read more Continue reading 3D Printed Screw Compressor Revisited
