Researchers have unveiled a new 3D‑printable material that can be stretched, sutured, and implanted, edging artificial organs ...

Engineers have turned one of nature’s most reviled body parts into a precision tool, using the hollow feeding tubes of dead ...

Plastic waste is a big problem in our world today. It's important for makers who use 3D printing technology (which generates plastic objects) to consider the waste hierarchy paradigm. Here's the thing ...

While it's possible to 3D-print plastic or metal items, printing single items made of both materials is still quite difficult. Scientists have developed a new method of doing so, however, that could ...

A new era of 3D printing "microfactories" is helping to turn waste plastics into "highly competitive" products fit for use in the construction industry, according to Veena Sahajwalla, professor and ...

A 3D-printing technique with dual nozzles enables a new form of metal-plastic hybrid printing. Applications include 3D-printed electronic components for healthcare applications, according to ...

In order to 3D-print really intricate items, you need a really fine print nozzle. Scientists have discovered that instead of ...

Current 3D printers employ either plastic or metal only, and the conventional method to coat 3D plastic structures with metal is not environment-friendly and yields poor results. Now, scientists have ...

A commonly used material in 3D printing is plastics. The reason being is that it is readily available, cost effective, and allows for rapid prototyping. However, plastics pose an environmental concern ...
