If your mental image of a 3D-printed object is a monochrome and perhaps slightly lopsided plastic toy, it’s time for an ...

Three collaborating companies have proposed the use of autonomous 3D-printing technologies to monitor and repair the damage to buildings, coral reefs and coastlines that challenging environmental ...

Researchers at the University of New South Wales, Sydney, have developed a flexible 3D bioprinter that can layer organic material directly onto organs or tissue. Unlike other bioprinting approaches, ...

A plump piece of farm-fresh chicken leg rested on a pristine surface at Harvard Medical School. Skin on and bone in, it was precisely sliced to barely crack the bone. A robot arm swerved over, scanned ...

A Firestorm xCell micro 3D printing factory loading onto a C-130 to print Tempest UAV systems at a U.S. Air Force base. Inside a standard shipping container, a "factory-in-a-box" hums to life. It is ...

If a zipper breaks, a 3D printer might not be the first tool one reaches for — but it’s more feasible than one might think.

Bespoke manufacturing by design and on-demand is the ultimate goal for various fields ranging from biomaterials to structural materials. Today, additive manufacturing is a quick-moving, ...
