3D-printed microfish– capable of removing and sensing toxins
Researchers developed a multipurpose fish-shaped microrobots — called microfish — that swim around efficiently in liquids, are chemically powered by hydrogen peroxide and magnetically controlled. They used an innovative 3D printing technology…
MIT’s “MultiFab” 3-D printer can print 10 materials at once
In recent years, companies have been working with “multi-material” 3-D printers that can fabricate many different functional items. Such printers, however, have traditionally been limited to three materials at a time, can…
Researchers developed a 3d printed spinal implant
Researchers at RMIT University have collaborated with a medical device company and a neurosurgeon to successfully deliver a 3D printed vertebral cage to a patient with severe back pain. For a couple…
Researchers have developed 3D printed jumping soft robots
Traditional industrial robots are rigid — mostly metal — as well as fast, precise, and powerful. Their speed and accuracy come at the cost of complexity and can often pose a danger…
