Engineers from The University of New South Wales (UNSW Sydney) have developed a miniature and flexible soft robotic arm which could be used to 3D print biomaterial directly onto organs inside a person’s body.
Researchers from Sandia National Laboratories have shown that a new 3D printed superalloy could help power plants generate more electricity while producing less carbon.
Douglas Brion & Sebastian Pattinson of the University of Cambridge's Department for Engineering on developing intelligent 3D printers that quickly detect and correct errors.
Candice Majewski, a Mechanical Engineering Lecturer at University of Sheffield, and Erin Walsh, a University of Glasgow medical student who also has a PhD in the manufacture of pharmaceuticals, discuss the cultural landscape of 3D printing academia.
Sougata Roy, Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering at the University of North Dakota (UND), has received federal funding to research new manufacturing methods for components used in nuclear reactors.
A new rotational, multimaterial 3D printing process has been developed by a team of researchers across different insitutes at Harvard University. The team was looking to mimic the helical structures that constitute biological systems.
University of Nottingham researchers have received a 6 million GBP grant from ESPRC to develop a 3D printing toolkit that will support the adoption of the technology in the UK healthcare sector.
Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have developed a heat treatment that can ‘transform’ the microscopic structure of 3D printed metals, making the materials stronger and more resilient in extreme thermal environments.
Deformation caused by residual stress in metal additive manufacturing fabrication technology is a major concern according to Waseda University. A multinational team of researchers have proposed a design strategy to address the challenge.
Researchers at Penn State have successfully 3D bioprinted breast cancer tumours and treated them in a new study to better understand the disease that is one of the biggest killers worldwide. Penn State says that this is a scientific first.
On October 12, representatives from companies Linde, Audi, EOS, GE, MTU Aero Engines, Oerlikon, Siemens, and the Technical University of Munich (TUM) signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the aim of founding the “Bavarian AM Cluster".
