Harvard Researchers Develop 3D Printed Synthetic Heart Valve that Grows with Children
A child’s heart valves can be damaged by rheumatic fever, which can then cause rheumatic heart disease and lead to even more serious health problems, such as stroke and heart…
3D Printing News Briefs, December 15, 2021: New 3D Printers, Business, & More
In today’s 3D Printing News Briefs, we’re starting with a little business first. Then we’ll tell you about two new 3D printers, and then move on to 3D printed homes,…
Autonomous Swarm of 3D Printed Robot Fish Could Swim Where Humans Can’t
We’ve seen 3D printed swarms of robots that are designed to pick up garbage, complete intricate production tasks, and even participate in surveillance, environmental, and search and rescue missions at…
Researchers Develop Multimaterial Voxel-3D Printing Method For More Direct Data to Object Translation
Modern approaches to physical visualization and data representations still mostly use a 2D display of 3D data sets on planar computer screens, which doesn’t always present the best results. A…
Bitmap-Based 3D Printing to Create Highly Detailed Anatomical Models
Doctors need MRI and CT scans to further evaluate, and diagnose, medical conditions. These scans produce high-resolution images in a series of slices which show the details of structures in…
Jennifer Lewis’ Work on 3D Organs-on-Chips Awarded 2017 Lush Prize
Innovators and researchers the world over work to develop products that address human wants and needs. Regulatory bodies the world over also work to ensure that the products that are…
Hybrid 3D Printing Technique Creates Stretchable Wearable Electronics
The skin is an amazing organ with a high level of flexibility that’s difficult to reproduce synthetically. Fabrics like Spandex can mimic the stretchability of skin, but when it comes…
The State of Bioprinting and 3D Printing in Medicine
Bioprinting has been a much hyped and anticipated technology development. The idea of being able to 3D print organs is a very powerful one indeed. If researchers are successful in…
Inspired by the Structure of Grass, Researchers Create Lightweight 3D Printable Ceramic Foam Ink
Metal may be the biggest thing in 3D printing right now, but ceramics are beginning to catch up to their fellow materials as new methods are developed for printing the…
How a 3D Printed Robot Can Teach Kids to Code
Applied computing technology has progressed to a level that requires greater programming effort to continue advancing for the benefit of humanity. Many grade school students are showing passion for learning…
Harvard Researchers Create 3D Printed Heart-on-a-Chip, Potentially Eliminating Need for Animal Testing in the Future
I’ve always hated the idea of animal testing. I try to buy products that don’t test on animals, though sometimes it’s hard to find reliable information. When it comes to…
Wyss Institute: Bioprinted Kidney Subunits Offer Future Potential for Testing & Transplants
Although 3D printing has truly earned its title as a revolutionary technology that will indeed change the way we do so many things worldwide—in nearly every industry—many have pointed out…
