Researchers at Tsinghua University have made a significant breakthrough in renal cancer research by developing a method to bioprint kidney tumors using patients’ own cells. This innovative approach creates a highly realistic model of tumors that mirrors the complex environment found within the human body. Published in the journal Biofabrication, their study details how this […]

The construction industry is in transformation due to advancements in 3D printing technology, leading to the creation of diverse structures ranging from shopping malls and homes to boats. This innovation provides solutions to key issues such as rising material costs and increased demand for new construction. QOROX, a notable player in the field, has harnessed […]

In recent years, 3D printing firms in Singapore have faced increasing requests to produce illegal components, such as gun and vape parts, raising concerns about regulation and safety. Hardik Dobariya, co-founder of the company Factorem, has reported rejecting around 25 orders related to gun parts, primarily over the last year from customers in Singapore and […]

Daniel Rau, an assistant professor in the University of Wyoming’s Department of Mechanical Engineering, has received a significant grant from the National Science Foundation to explore advancements in 3D printing, specifically targeting soft materials. Despite rapid growth in 3D printing technology, current capabilities largely focus on producing hard plastic products. Rau aims to address this […]

Combining additive and subtractive manufacturing techniques is proving to be a game changer in product development, effectively addressing the limitations inherent to each individual method. The concept of hybrid manufacturing merges the advantages of Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machining with 3D printing, allowing for enhanced production efficiency and precision. Understanding Manufacturing Methods Additive manufacturing, often […]

3D printing firms in Singapore are experiencing a notable increase in requests for producing gun and vape parts. One firm reported a 50% rise in such requests compared to the previous year. While these companies have consistently rejected demand for these products, they face challenges in identifying which designs may potentially be illegal. To address […]

After sustaining injuries that damage tendons, patients often experience significant mobility challenges. Hand injuries, in particular, can require extensive healing time, typically necessitating physiotherapy for full recovery. In response to this need, healthcare professionals are increasingly utilizing exoskeletons designed specifically to support hand and finger movements during rehabilitation. The Fraunhofer IWU has recently developed a […]

If you’re interested in building a kayak but prefer a modern approach, you can take cues from Ivan Miranda, who demonstrated the capability of 3D printing one. Ivan has a massive 3D printer that utilizes a treadmill as its base, making it well-suited for constructing elongated objects like kayaks. Previously, Ivan attempted a similar project, […]

3D printing is making notable strides in the healthcare sector, particularly with orthopedic devices, where traditional manufacturing methods often fall short. One company at the forefront of this innovation is OrthoVoxel, a Swiss startup committed to advancing the development of orthoses and prosthetics using additive manufacturing. Founded in 2022 by orthotists Daniel Robert and Adam […]

Scientists at the University of Arkansas have made a groundbreaking advancement in 3D printing technology by developing a new "ink" from an ancient grain, sorghum. This innovation utilizes the protein found in sorghum to create a gel-like material suitable for printing, described as having a consistency similar to toothpaste. The team’s objective is to use […]
