Doctors need MRI and CT scans to further evaluate, and diagnose, medical conditions. These scans produce high-resolution images in a series of slices which show the details of structures in a person’s body and can later be 3D printed into a detailed physical model. Unfortunately, these images are so detailed that the part that needs… Continue reading Bitmap-Based 3D Printing For Hi-Def Anatomical Models
If you have an HP printer and you cannot print with third-party ink cartridges, you may be entitled to $50 in compensation. Provided you live in Australia. HP has given the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) a court-enforceable undertaking to compensate customers with non-HP ink cartridges.
Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University have used an inexpensive 3-D printer to produce flat plastic items that, when heated, fold themselves into predetermined shapes, such as a rose, a boat or even a bunny. Self-folding materials are quicker and cheaper to produce than solid 3-D objects, making it possible to replace noncritical parts or produce… Continue reading Cheap 3D Printer Can Produce Self-folding Materials [+VIDEO]
A collaboration between housing non-profit New Story and construction technology firm Icon aims to use 3D printing technology to house the homeless. While it’s early days yet, they hope to produce low-cost 3D-printed homes in El Salvador by late 2019. New Story and Icon debuted an initial proof-of-concept model of a house that measures just… Continue reading 3D Printing Project To Revolutionize Low-Cost Construction [+VIDEO]
Japanese company Mimaki mostly known as a manufacturer of wide-format inkjet, has introduced a campaign of its 3DUJ-553 colour 3D printer. The machine has the ability to produce more than 10 million colours, including clear ink for translucent parts, in layers as fine as 20 microns.
Adding to the line-up of dental-focussed 3D printing technologies launched at LMT Lab Day Chicago 2018 from the likes of 3D Systems and DWS, Stratasys unveiled a new machine, material and support removal technology aimed at boosting adoption of professional-grade 3D printing in dental laboratories. Leveraging its PolyJet triple-jetting technology, the new Stratasys Objet260 Dental… Continue reading Dental 3D Printer From Stratasys
Three-dimensional images that we can see from all directions are the next step up from holograms. To move us toward that goal, researchers from Brigham Young University have developed a new method to create such a 3D display. The approach is called a free-space volumetric display and uses a technique called optical trapping. As reported… Continue reading Images 3D Printed With Light [VIDEO]
This one is for the lades. 3D printing is conquering ever more aspects of our lives, even those you wouldn’t immediately think of. Researchers in the U.K.’s Cosmetic Science Group at London College of Fashion have been exploring the use of additive manufacturing for a whole new industry and application: makeup.
Additive technologies have been developing for years, but it is in 2017 that they made a breakthrough. MIT Technology Review made a list of 5 most amazing thing produced on 3D- printer. 1. Runnings Shoes In April, Adidas launched mass-production of 3D-printed running shoes Futurecraft 4D, which would start selling in 2018. To apcoplish this, the… Continue reading 5 Best 3D-Printed Things in 2017, According to MIT Technology Review
Chinese researchers have developed a 3D bio-printer that makes it possible to mass produce human tissue, including skin, cartilage and liver. Measuring 1.6 meters long, 1 meter wide and 1.9 meters tall, the printer was developed by a research team led by Hangzhou Regenovo Biotechnology Co., Ltd. “Mass production of medical materials as well as… Continue reading Chinese Printer to Create Human Tissue
