With the need for organ transplants increasing steeply, the ability to 3D bioprint functional human organs becomes more and more crucial. Patients on organ transplant lists not only suffer decreased quality of life while awaiting a…

Just as demand for fake meat has suddenly and dramatically exceeded supply, our need for wood products continues to outpace our ability to grow and harvest the trees we need to make those products. But researchers at Chalmers University of…

While surgical mesh has been successfully used in hernia repairs since WWII, 3D printing of prosthetic medical devices has so far focused on items like hearing aids, dental crowns, and limb prosthetics designed to replace or support bones…

Take a look at HP's new 3D Printing and Digital Manufacturing Center of Excellence located in Barcelona, Spain. The facility is one of the world’s largest and most advanced research and development facilities for the next-generation…

It may seem like a silly problem; you’re pouring a cup of tea from a teapot or a glass of wine from a bottle or carafe and you spill some. Pouring liquids is difficult because they tend to cling to the bottle or the teapot spout rather than…

The U.S. has struggled to gain a worldwide market share of molds for 3D printing of metal components. But an enhanced partnership between Oak Ridge National Laboratory and Lincoln Electric, announced at the Department of Energy's Advanced…

Continuing a tradition that began when he was very young, Swedish-born guitar virtuoso Yngwie Malmsteen has been smashing his old guitars onstage and at home on birthdays and holidays whenever he got an upgrade. When Sandvik invested $25…

Researchers from the University of Hamburg and DESY have developed a  3D printing process that can be used to produce transparent and mechanically flexible electronic circuits. The electronics consist of a mesh of silver nanowires that can…

Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the U.S. Given that heart transplantation is currently the only treatment available for end-stage heart disease patients, the need for advances in cardiac regenerative medicine is urgent.…

Sporting goods present unique challenges for 3D printers due to their size, durability, and specialized nature. But a team of Michigan Technical University engineers and re:3D Inc. have been using an open source industrial fused particle…
