Easy problems are no fun, said Nicole Black, PhD, vice president of biomaterials and innovation at Desktop Health. Instead, she prefers tackling difficult problems because they produce innovative ...

TE Connectivity is using a new automated 3D printing process for catheter shaft manufacturing that could replace a ...

The ability to get a design into the hands of its users, in this case, physicians, leads to faster design iteration and development. For Kablooe Design, creating devices that transform the medical ...

A fabrication process can produce self-heating microfluidic devices in one step using a multimaterial 3D printer. These devices, which can be made rapidly and cheaply in large numbers, could help ...

McGill researchers are exploring a new technique that uses 3D printing and hydrogels. It has the potential not only to improve biomedical implants but could also be useful in the development of ...

A new technology being pioneered at Caltech is allowing researchers to "evolve" optical devices and then print them out using a specialized type of 3D printer. These devices are made of so-called ...

Researchers at The University of Texas at Austin are pioneering a 3D printing method that could pave the way for new developments in prosthetics, flexible medical devices, and stretchable electronics.

3D Printing Revolution: From Microelectronics to Microfluidics.This image illustrates the transformative role of 3D printing technology in the fabrication of microelectronic and microfluidic devices.

For decades, traditional lithography techniques—such as electron beam lithography and nanoimprinting—have struggled to meet the demand for ultra-fine, high-aspect-ratio structures in general. Similar ...

Research and Markets has opened registration for the live online course The Future of Manufacturing: 3D Printing for Medical Devices. The course is organised by IPI Academy and takes place December 9, ...

Researchers are targeting the next generation of soft actuators and robots with an elastomer-based ink for 3D printing objects with locally changing mechanical properties, eliminating the need for ...

If you bought a 3D printer and are looking for new tools to use with it, know that you can print 3D printing accessories instead of buying them. Think about it: although many of these items are not ...
