Swedish researchers create 3D bioprinted human cartilage
A team of researchers at Sahlgrenska Academy has managed to generate cartilage tissue by printing stem cells using a 3D-bioprinter. The fact that the stem cells survived being printed in this manner is…
New 3D-printed device mimics the goldbug beetle, which changes color when prodded
In this age of smartphones and tablet computers, touch-sensitive surfaces are everywhere. They’re also brittle, as people with cracked phone screens everywhere can attest. Covering a robot — or an airplane or a…

Swiss University students Develop Six Axis 3D Printer
Two students from the Zurich University of Applied Sciences (ZHAW) in Switzerland have built a 3D printer with a three-axis tilting print bed, giving the printer a total of six axes. The 3D…
Etihad Airways Engineering can now certify 3D printed aircraft parts under EASA
Etihad Airways, the UAE’s second largest airline, has been taking its 3D printing game up a notch this year. Not only did the company recently announce a collaboration with Siemens and Strata to…
TRUMPF showcases lasers for research and 3D printing
The high technology company TRUMPF, based in Ditzingen near Stuttgart, Germany, had put on another impressive show at this year’s Photonics West, one of the most important optics and photonics conferences in the…
Ability 3D promises to let hobbyists print with metal
Printing metal has been one of the holy grails of 3D printing. For the most part, printed prototype parts are made of plastic or other soft materials. That greatly limits their use in…
‘Gyroid’ shapes offer potential for future structural plastics
Massachusetts Institute of Technology researcher developed a potential new structural plastic using 3-D printers and graphene. Scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have discovered new ways to use complex geometry to make…
