Walking through Autodesk’s Technology Center in Boston, I’ve come to expect surprises. One second, it’s MIT engineers pushing concrete printers to their limits, the next it’s Harvard architects stitching stone…

Over the years, researchers in additive manufacturing have been working on different hydrogel systems for scaffolds, supports, and parts. Others have worked on different forms of growing 3D prints, while…

South Korean biotech startup Clecell has achieved what many tissue engineers have long sought: a reproducible, full-thickness human skin built entirely from induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), using bioprinting. Clecell’s…

When most people look at piles of mining waste, they see rubble. For Maddie Farrer and Chenming He, two researchers at Harvard’s Graduate School of Design (GSD), those rocks look…

Viennese firm UpNano has successfully commercialized 2-photon polymerization (2PP) technology for the research market and beyond, leading to its global rollout. Now the firm has made the decision to enter…

In space, manufacturing has always been an area with much speculation but little actual progress. The idea is simple: zero or reduced gravity environments may be a better place to…

At the Autodesk Technology Center in Boston, experiments don’t stay on paper for long. Ideas are tested at full scale, sometimes overnight. Among the largest machines in the space is…

As demand grows for more agile and cost-effective production methods, additive manufacturing is increasingly seen as a viable solution for end-use parts — not just prototyping. NECO, a contract manufacturer…
