When you get a 3D printer, it can be overwhelming to figure out what you want to make. There are several designs you can discover online, and eventually, you can create your own using programs like ...

Researchers at the University of Texas at Austin recently developed a new 3D printing method with the use of custom-designed liquid resin. This enables them to quickly build objects with both soft and ...

A new open-source tool is reshaping how engineers design multi-material objects. Charles Wade, a fourth-year PhD student in the Department of Computer Science at CU Boulder, has created a design ...

A scan‑to‑print medical model. University of Colorado Boulder researchers have developed a new open-source tool that enables engineers to design multi-material 3D-printed objects like this more ...

3D printing may be a breakthrough technology, but it isn’t sustainable. Most printers still rely on petroleum-based plastics, while greener alternatives are too brittle to use in parts that need ...

University of Minnesota researchers developed a 3D-printed scaffold that directs stem cells to grow into functioning nerve cells, successfully restoring movement in rats with severed spinal cords.

From touch-sensitive smartphone screens to fitness wearables and wireless earbuds, electronics are becoming ever more integrated into our daily lives—and smaller, lighter, and more flexible in the ...

Inspired by how nature blends toughness and flexibility, such as the rigid structure of bone surrounded by pliable cartilage, all with elegant and precise geometric properties, researchers at The ...

Collagen, a prevalent and predominant part of the structure of bodies, still has some mystique surrounding the finer aspects of its existence. In a new study, researchers look into the mechanism of ...

Researchers at the Terasaki Institute for Biomedical Innovation (TIBI) have developed a technique that could help advance treatments in tissue engineering. The study, published in the scientific ...

Our bodies are constantly breaking down. Over time, their built-in repair mechanisms also fail. Knee cartilage grinds away. Hip joints no longer support weight. Treatments for breast cancer and other ...
