Bespoke Bicycle Company in Australia Creates Prize-Winning Bike with 3D Printed Frame Components
We have three bicycles on the back porch of our home, all of which are used hand-me-downs. We don’t often ride bikes, so we don’t really mind that they’re not state-of-the-art models…but to some people, this matters a great deal. In Australia alone, there are about 35 bespoke bicycle companies, where even a basic model […]

Australian Researchers Using Bioengineering and 3D Printing to Design Better Replacement Bone Ligament Constructs
The most common type of wrist ligament injury occurs with the Scapholunate Interosseous Ligament (SLIL). Injuries to this particular ligament can lead to the dislocation of the lunate and scaphoid carpal bones in the hand and wrist, which can result in long-term disability; for athletes, an SLIL injury can spell the end of their career. These injuries […]

Using 3D Technologies to Examine Rare Specimens of the Extinct Tasmanian Tiger
In 1936, the last known Tasmanian Tiger died in captivity at Hobart Zoo; locked out of its shelter, it was unable to survive the extreme daytime heat and below-freezing nighttime temperatures of Tasmania to which it was subjected. Since that time, much like Elvis, there have been sightings of the animal in the wild, but […]
