Collaborate Disseminate
A first-of-its-kind 3D-printed concrete bridge has been unveiled in Venice, Italy. The bridge is a demonstration of a new 3D printing method resulting in a structure requiring no mortar or steel reinforcement.Continue ReadingCategory: Architecture, Lif… Continue reading World’s first unreinforced 3D-printed concrete bridge displayed in Venice
Italian 3D-printing company WASP, in collaboration with artist Alison Knowles, has completed the printing stage of the world’s first 3D-printed livable sculpture. Utilizing WASP’s advanced 3D-printing crane technology, which was behind the TECLA 3D-pri… Continue reading Sculpture 3D printed from natural materials invites sleepovers in Frankfurt
Heating and cooling systems are some of the biggest energy guzzlers in use, so passive temperature control could be a good way to reduce emissions. Phase-change materials (PCMs) show promise for this, and now engineers at Texas A&M have developed a new… Continue reading 3D-printable phase-change materials insulate buildings better at scale
3D printing has come to play a significant role in modern rocket construction, with key players like Rocket Lab, NASA and SpaceX all leaning on the technology in producing their spacecraft. Startup Relativity Space is now coming to the party with its f… Continue reading Relativity Space’s reusable Terran R rocket can be 3D-printed in 60 days
Researchers at Pennsylvania State University have developed a method to patch up injuries by 3D printing both hard and soft tissues at the same time, using two different “bioinks.” In tests on rats, the team was able to repair holes the skulls and skin… Continue reading Combo 3D bioprinting patches up skin and bone injuries in one procedure
Researchers at the University at Buffalo have developed a new method for 3D printing graphene aerogels that work well as water filters. The team says this technique helps make graphene aerogels scalable and stable enough to be used over and over.Contin… Continue reading 3D-printed graphene aerogel makes efficient, scalable water filter
Saab has flown a 3D-printed replacement part on the exterior of a Gripen fighter jet for the first time. The test flight over the company’s facility at Linköping, Sweden, on March 19, 2021, potentially paves the way for 3D-printed parts to be used to m… Continue reading Flight tests 3D printing’s potential to repair forward deployed jets
Engineers at Cornell University have developed a new technique for 3D printing metallic objects – and it involves blasting titanium particles at supersonic speeds. The resulting metals are very porous, which makes them particularly useful for biomedica… Continue reading New 3D printing technique fuses titanium particles at supersonic speeds

Human knees are notoriously vulnerable to injury or wearing out with age, often culminating in the need for surgery. Now researchers have created new hybrid bioinks that can be used to 3D print structures to replace damaged cartilage in the knee.Contin… Continue reading Hybrid 3D-printing bioinks help repair damaged knee cartilage
