3D-Printed Device Detects Biomarkers of Preterm Birth

Preterm birth (PTB) –– defined as birth before the 37th week of gestation –– is the leading complication of pregnancy.

Scientists Design 3D-Printed Microchip Electrophoresis Device for Detecting Preterm Birth Biomarkers

A major complication of pregnancy is preterm birth (PTB), which is defined as birth before the 37th week of gestation.

Lubrizol Partners with Ultimaker to Develop Unique TPU Range for 3D Printing

The Lubrizol Corporation announces a collaboration with Ultimaker, the leader in desktop 3D printing, to enter the Material Alliance Program.

Hyperelastic Bone Produced by 3D Printing Could be Effective for Fixing Skull Defects

Defects of the facial bones and skull are found to be the major challenges for plastic and reconstructive surgeons.

3D Printed Models of Dog Skulls to Help Save Animals

University of Queensland (UQ) vets can now use 3D printed models of dog skulls to help save animals and educate veterinary students in the future. Machine learning methods have been used by researchers to precisely predict the mechanical characteristics of metal-organic frameworks, or MOFs, which can be used for storing toxic gases, or extracting water from the air in the desert, or powering hydrogen-based cars.

Researchers Develop Magnetic Liquid Metals Droplets that can be Stretched at Large Scales

Arnold Schwarzenegger, in the Hollywood film Terminator 2: Judgement Day, became a humanoid liquid metal robot with superpower. Scientists have created a similar quasi-“Terminator” robot in the lab. The study was reported in ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces.

UPM Develops Large Scale Robot-based 3D Printing Applications Using PLA Biocomposite

In collaboration with ABB and Prenta, UPM has demonstrated large scale robot-based granulate 3D printing applications with UPM Formi 3D biocomposite opening new possibilities for designers and manufacturers.

3D-Printed Biocompatible Tissue Scaffolds can Help Replace Irreparably Damaged Tissue

It is said that the future of medicine will be biological, and researchers are hoping that 3D-printed biologically functional tissue would soon be used to substitute the body’s permanently damaged tissue.

Scientists Develop Flexible Capacitor for 3D Printing

Scientists at the University of Hamburg and DESY collaborated to perform a research work to develop an appropriate process for 3D printing. It could possibly be used for the production of transparent, mechanically flexible electronic circuits.

Researchers 3D Print an All-Liquid Device that can be Repeatedly Reconfigured on Demand

At DOE’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab), scientists have successfully 3D-printed an all-liquid device that can be recurrently reconfigured on demand by simply clicking a button.
