The Department of Science and Technology (DOST) is set to unveil the country’s first Advanced Manufacturing Center (AMCen) which aspires to be the leading research center in 3D printing technologies, processes, and materials.
The Executive Director of the DOST’s Philippine Council for Industry, Energy, and Emerging Technology Research and Development (PCIEERD) […]
Researchers at the University of California, Berkeley developed a new 3D printer that uses light to transform a thick syrupy liquid into a complex solid design in a matter of minutes.
Nicknamed Replicator, after the Star Trek device that can materialize any object on demand, the 3D printer can create objects that are smoother, more flexible and more complex than what is possible with traditional 3 […]
The world’s longest 3D printed bridge has opened in Shanghai, China.
The 26 meters long and 3 meters wide bridge was produced by the team led by professor Xu Weiguo from the Tsinghua University School of Architecture’s Zoina Land Joint Research Center for Digital Architecture (JCDA) in Beijing and was based on 1,400 years old Anji bridge in Zhaoxian, China’s oldest standing arched bridg […]
Artists have long been leveraging the possibilities of 3D/4D printing but the newest avenues it has provided is biomimicry. While technology is great for design in general, it has allowed artists to take massive inspiration from nature. Designer Nicole Hone has now used the technology to create an immersive experience using aquatic plants. The printed sculptures use a […]
While the private sector receives cover more often, government investment in various manufacturing processes is a crucial part of the additive manufacturing world. The UK has been planning to boost its own manufacturing capabilities as part of its Catapult program. As part of the program, the government will invest £780 million in multiple laboratories across England, Sc […]
According to a study commissioned by Ricoh Europe, nearly nine out of ten higher education professionals believe that skills developed using digital manufacturing and 3D printing technologies are vital for graduates entering the labour market. The electronics company surveyed 3,150 professionals around the world to learn more about the place of 3D technologies in students’ curricula and how they will influence their employability.
3D printing for concrete has undergone massive leaps and bounds in recent years. So, it was only natural that it would come to repair and renovation, as opposed to just construction. Taking this concept to its natural conclusion, architecture and engineering firm EDG have stepped up to the plate. Calling this style, “Modern Ornamental”, the teams’ approach is handy for rebuilding old facades inexpensively.
Bioengineers at the University of California San Diego have developed a 3D bioprinting technique that works with natural materials and is easy to use, allowing researchers of varying levels of technical expertise to produce lifelike organ tissue models.
As a proof of concept, the UC San Diego team used their method to create blood vessel networks capable of keeping a breast cancer tu […]
Bionics is usually the stuff of science fiction, but lately, more sci-fi has been leaking into reality. With the aid of modern techniques, we’re developing custom organs and implants, and now eyes. Researchers from the University of Minnesota have made the most advanced prototype of a bionic eye yet, using an array of light receptors on a hemispherical surface. The could some […]
London-based ADEISS are working with surgeons to develop a range of tools and implants for medical procedures. The advanced medical and dental solutions provider is working on a new concept for 3D printed products that have the potential to change the way in which doctors plan and perform jaw surgery and/or replacements. The researchers are looking to 3D print replicas and reference models for various procedures and anatomic refer […]
