3D printing’s strength revolution. A new method uses 3D printed resin as a scaffolding to create materials with remarkable strength and complexity. “Our materials could withstand 20 times more pressure compared to those produced with previous methods, while exhibiting only […]
“Welcome to 4D printing, a frontier in material and manufacturing science that has been rapidly expanding over the past decade. While 3D printing has captured global attention for its ability to create objects layer by layer, 4D printing adds the […]
“The researchers’ semiconductor-free devices, which they produced using standard 3D printing hardware and an inexpensive, biodegradable material, can perform the same switching functions as the semiconductor-based transistors used for processing operations in active electronics.” ~ learn more
This is absolutely incredible. 3D printing keeps getting better. “For the first time, researchers have succeeded in printing a robotic hand with bones, ligaments and tendons made of different polymers using a new laser scanning technique.” ~ learn more
“The new technique allows for even more sophisticated tracking to 3D print sensors on organs like the lungs or heart that change shape or distort due to expanding and contracting.” | learn more
“3D printing holds the promise of changing the healthcare industry for the better by offering products such as smarter drugs and hyper-customized prosthetics. …[In] the near future, it might become commonplace for doctors to treat patients with printed organs. In […]
I’ve been following this fund manager for a few months, since they keep putting out great content around the big dynamic changes we’re expecting in our world: robotics, CRISPR, cryptoassets, 3D printing, etc. This is an excellent report with plenty of charts […]
