(THE CONVERSATION) – A new 3D-printing technique using silicone can make accurate models of the blood vessels in your brain, enabling neurosurgeons to train with more realistic simulations before they ...

The Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) has developed silicone resins suitable for 3D printing medical parts. The resins, according to CSIRO, are non-cytotoxic, highly ...

3D printing has become commonplace in the hardware industry, but because few materials can be used for it easily, the process rarely results in final products. A Swiss startup called Spectroplast ...

Boston — Applications for the rapidly growing 3D printing industry include the ability to make hearing aids and jewelry, manufacture parts for NASA and replicate a human kidney. And as the industry ...

We all know what the ultimate goal of 3D printing is: to be able to print parts for everything, including our own bodies. To achieve that potential, we need better ways to print soft materials, and ...

This one is apparently a few years old, but the idea looks so good that we’re left wondering whatever happened to it. [Seyi Sosanya] made what amounts to a 3D printer, but one that prints in a unique ...

You don’t have to be able to follow the intricately complex plot threads of HBO’s hit sci-fi series Westworld — who can? — to see the hypothetical picture in its fabric: by the early 2050s, theme park ...

Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory have integrated binder jet additive manufacturing ...

Cover photo of Carbon’s prototype COVID-19 test swabs. All but one of the designs passed patient testing at Stanford and Beth Israel hospitals; Carbon eventually chose a hybrid of the two on the right ...
