This 3D printer can watch itself fabricate objects
Computer vision enables contact-free 3D printing, letting engineers print with high-performance materials they couldn’t use before. With 3D inkjet printing systems, engineers can fabricate hybrid structures that have soft and rigid components,…
Researchers Create Highly Conductive Metallic Gel for 3D Printing
Researchers have developed a metallic gel that is highly electrically conductive and can be used to print three-dimensional (3D) solid objects at room temperature. The researcher says that 3D printing has revolutionized…
Combining bioprinting techniques to pursue functional blood vessels
Researchers from University Medical Center (UMC) Utrecht, Netherlands, for the first time successfully combined volumetric bioprinting with melt electrowriting. This combines the speed and cell-friendliness of volumetric printing with the structural strength…
Direct sound printing is a potential game-changer in 3D printing
Most 3D printing methods currently in use rely either on photo (light)- or thermo (heat)-activated reactions to achieve precise manipulation of polymers. The development of a new platform technology called direct sound…
