Three-dimensional printing, or additive manufacturing, has emerged as a transformative technology capable of producing complex, customizable structures directly from computer-aided design models. Its ...

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 ...

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 ...

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.

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has released a new draft guidance for medical device manufacturers working with additive manufacturing (AM), which is more commonly known as 3D printing. In ...
