For the past few months, I have been exploring the world of 3D printing using the Bambu Labs A1 3D printer. This large and somewhat noisy machine transforms digital designs into tangible objects on my desktop. The journey began with an initial learning phase covering various printer types, basic settings in the Bambu Studio app, […]

Today, the field of space freight transport is largely dominated by the American company SpaceX, known for its Dragon capsule. However, a new competitor has emerged from Europe—The Exploration Company, which aims to revolutionize space logistics and provide a viable alternative to SpaceX. Founded in July 2021, The Exploration Company has developed the "Nyx" spacecraft […]

Inventor Denis Lvov, PhD, has pioneered a revolutionary microwave 3D printing technology capable of functioning in diverse environments, including outer space. As reported by Protolabs in 2024, the global 3D printing market has surged to $24.8 billion and maintains a robust growth trajectory at an annual rate of 21%. Within this dynamic field, Lvov has […]

A revolutionary technique in medical technology has emerged from researchers at the California Institute of Technology, promising to redefine tissue repair through ultrasound-based 3D printing. This innovative method enables the direct printing of tissues inside the body using a special bioink that solidifies under ultrasound exposure, offering a significant advancement over traditional 3D printing methods […]

The 3D printing industry in Australia has witnessed significant growth in recent years, driven by a combination of pandemic-related shifts and robust support from both government and research institutions. While Australia may still lag behind major players like the US and China, its future in the field of additive manufacturing (AM) looks promising. According to […]

Researchers at the University of Waterloo have achieved a significant advancement in medical 3D printing with the development of a new material suitable for creating personalized bone grafts. This innovative material mimics the properties of bone, promising to transform the bone reconstruction process by offering patient-specific solutions. Traditionally, bone injuries require metal implants or grafts […]

The Swiss village of Mulens has recently completed the construction of a remarkable 30-meter tower named Tor Alva, which is now recognized as the tallest building in the world created through 3D printing technology. This innovative structure was printed using advanced techniques on a large 3D printer. The project was driven by architects Michael Hansmeyer […]

Xavi Ildefonso was diligently perfecting the edges of intricately designed titanium lattice cylinders, 3D-printed by PhD candidate Melissa Trask, destined for medical research to aid in jawbone regrowth after surgery. In Dalhousie University’s IDEA Project lab, the pair shared insights on 3D-printing aluminum alloys for a satellite project, demonstrating the collaborative spirit in Halifax’s innovative […]

On a recent episode of Uncanny Valley, the discussion centered on the legality and accessibility of creating untraceable ghost guns via 3D printing. The conversation highlighted how easy it has become to produce these firearms, especially in light of the recent case involving Luigi Mangione, who allegedly used a 3D-printed gun in a high-profile crime. […]

Renishaw, a leader in metal additive manufacturing systems, has formed a strategic alliance with Metalpine, an Austrian manufacturer of premium metal powders. This partnership aims to innovate 3D printing solutions tailored specifically for the maritime sector. The focus is on creating durable components that can endure the harsh conditions of marine environments, where corrosion due […]
