Researchers have developed a new method for 3D printing objects with very different properties, including levels of hardness ...

In the last few years, the use of 3D printing has exploded in medicine. Engineers and medical professionals now routinely 3D print prosthetic hands and surgical tools. But 3D printing has only just ...

The CRAFT method uses widely available materials and inexpensive commercial 3D printers.

Progress towards 3D-printed organs has been slow due to challenges like vascularization and cell viability. 3D bioprinting has successfully implanted hollow organs like tracheas and bladders, but ...

While most everyone is familiar with 3D printing, lesser known is the art of bioprinting; that is, 3D printing body parts using biomaterials. The Australian Institute for Innovative Materials (AIIM) ...

When it comes to repairing human bodies, there’s one major difficulty: spare parts are hard to come by. It’s simply not possible to buy a knee joint or a new lung off the shelf. At best, doctors and ...

In order to keep surgeries minimally invasive, it would be great if implants could be injected into the body in liquid form, then solidified once in place. Well, a new ultrasound-based 3D printing ...

3D printing became a reality when Charles Hull patented his Stereolithography (SLA) printer back in 1986, which was capable of printing only acrylic-based 3D objects. However, 3D printing supports a ...
