How Cost Effective are 3D Printed Adaptive Aids for Arthritis Patients?
Millions of people are affected by arthritis, a chronic condition consisting of physical disability and joint pain that can negatively affect the patient’s life. But not only is the condition painful, it is also costly in terms of medical care and expenses that...
3D Printed Bar is Center of a Technological Party Experience
3D printing has made its way into alcohol establishments before, from bars that offer 3D printing services while you drink to bars with 3D printed taps. Distilling company Bulleit, however, has taken things a step further by 3D printing an entire bar itself. The 3D...
Researchers Use CFD Simulation to Determine Ideal Rate of Extrusion and Toolpath in FDM
In a paper entitled “Numerical Modeling of the Material Deposition and Contouring Precision in Fused Deposition Modeling,” a group of researchers discusses how they used computation fluid dynamics (CFD) to simulate the flow of the material extruded from...
Ireland: Researchers Use 3D Printed Templates to Control and Tune Metallic Nanostructures
Metallic architectures with nanoscale features are in high demand because of their unique electrical and optical properties, but aren’t the easiest to fabricate…unless 3D printing comes into play, of course. A collaborative team of Irish researchers...
MakerBot Introduces a New 3D Printer, the Method
MakerBot, which has been producing desktop 3D printers for years, is introducing its first performance 3D printer, described as “bridging the gap” between desktop and industrial 3D printing. The Method 3D printer offers features previously only available...
Making the Holiday Season Merry and Bright with 3D Printing
While the official first day of winter isn’t actually until next Friday, December 21st, it’s certainly felt like winter here in southwest Ohio recently. For me, this means drinking hot chocolate, sleeping in flannel pajamas, donning mittens and a scarf...
3D Printing Used to Predict Behavior of Replacement Heart Valves
3D printing has been studied by several different institutions as a method for aiding in a process called transcatheter aortic valve replacement, or TAVR. More than one in eight people aged 75 and older in the United States develop moderate to severe blockage of the...3DPrint.com Highlights & Resources
