3d printing

Because of the need to train users how to operate, manually adjust for exposure time and get the camera recalibrated if it’s accidentally disturbed, 3D cameras are not easy to use. They should be though, claims a Purdue University…

The risk of complications from third-degree burns include infections, blood loss, shock, tetanus, hypothermia and hypovolemia (low blood volume) are severe and life threatening. Skin grafts are painful and cause trauma to other parts of the…

A 1,9000-sq.-ft., three-bedroom home, 3D-printed in just 48 hours of print time, using less than $6,000 in materials? Yes, you heard it correctly. 3D printing is revolutionizing the way buildings are constructed and now, a company…

For the first time ever, researchers have succeeded in printing a 3D image with stabilized gold nanoparticles with biodegradable and biocompatible polymer systems. What does this mean for pharmaceutical industry? University of Seville…

3D Printing isn't a new technology. It’s been in action since the late 1990’s. But over the last decade, this technology has successfully strengthened its presence in the manufacturing industry. With both consumer and commercial grade 3D…

By 2030, according to some estimates, one in six people will be over the age of 60. The need for technology that will take pressure off the healthcare system and allow seniors to age in place is, therefore increasing. Soft pressure sensors…

We had the opportunity to chat with Bob Zubrickie, Manager of the 3D Printing and Prototyping Center at TE Connectivity. Zubrickie's diversified background and his 40 years of experience in prototyping at TE Connectivity gives us a wide…

Consistent quality has been a challenge for the additive manufacturing business. Current titanium alloys used in additive manufacturing often cool and bond together in column-shaped crystals during the 3D printing process, making them prone…

Imagine being able to 3D-print an object without the digital information required to do so because the instructions have already been stored in the object. It's absolutely possible now. Researchers at ETH Zurich have collaborated with an…

3D printing is disruptive. Not in a DIY-desktop-kind-of-way, but in a way that arms it with the power to transform production processes so that businesses can reap tangible benefits of its incorporation. Why, then, are some businesses…
