Boston’s Additive Edge: BMF’s Precision on a Microscopic Scale
In the quest for ever-smaller and more precise technologies, Boston Micro Fabrication (BMF) seeks to pioneer the next wave of micro-precision in 3D printing, an area critical to fields ranging…
Sweden: Improving Writing Resolution in Electro-hydrodynamic 3D Printing
In the recently published, ‘Increasing the Writing Resolution for Electro-hydrodynamic 3D-Printing: by Active Steering of e-jet,’ author Henrik Dan Bergman explores fabrication techniques in the microscopic realm for his thesis…
Nanoscribe 3D Printing and Integrating Microscopic Components Directly onto Integrated Circuits
While 3D printing is capable of fabricating large objects, bigger isn’t always better in this industry…a notion that Nanoscribe is very familiar with. The German 3D printer manufacturer is an expert…
Cytosurge FluidFM Technology Can Now 3D Print Pure Metal Structures with Pinpoint Accuracy
Nanotechnology startup Cytosurge, an ETH Zurich spin-off company, was founded nine years ago, and develops, manufactures, and distributes innovative, high-precision nanotechnology metal 3D printers based on its patented FluidFM technology, which stands for…
3D Printing Viscous Materials: Advances Toward 3D Printed Rocket Fuel, Pharmaceuticals, Cookie Dough
A 3D printed object has to be able to support the weight of its own layers, as objects that are too fluid can collapse under their own weight. That’s why…
MIT CSAIL Researchers Develop Design System for 3D Printing Topology Optimization
Whether they’re inspired by a gold beetle to 3D print a multi-material electronic device, creating programmable soft 3D printing materials for robots and drones, or making it possible to watch…
A Very, Very Close Look at 3D Printing Filaments — Via Scanning Electron Microscope
Vic Harkness is a full-time student in Wales studying for a degree in AI and Robotics, and she also enjoys falconry, photography, and 3D printers. In fact, she sells a…
Microscopic 3D Printing May Allow Micro-Robots to Deliver Medicine Inside Your Body
I didn’t really see this one coming, and if you did, I am duly impressed. With 3D printing technology, it’s not all about the external. Many medical breakthroughs due to 3D…
