Researchers create 3D printer that works directly on human skin, could be used to print temporary sensors

Who needs wearable electronics when you can print them on your skin directly? That is the thinking that drove Minnesota-based researchers to customize a 3D printer so that it can put sensors and other temporary electronics on human skin, an article on Phys.org stated. Using the skin of anything alive as a printing surface is difficult […]

This 3D-printing robot can build an entire home in 6 months for just $300,000

The number of robots involved in the manpower-deprived construction industry has been increasing as of late. An architectural startup has decided to automate much of the construction process using 3D-printing robots. In a Business Insider article, the robot home-builders can print a 1,000-square-foot dream house in just half a year for as low as $300,000. […]

Fixing broken bones for good: 3D-printed ceramic implant holds bones together before transforming into actual, natural bone

You may know of 3D printing as a revolutionary new solution for prototyping and small-scale production in industries such as manufacturing, but it can also be beneficial in other areas. Researchers in Australia have shown just that, as they have completed a new study that uses 3D-printed ceramic implants to heal bone injuries to the […]

Ford to start 3D printing car parts

Three-dimensional (3D) printing has many applications, including prosthetic limbs, working guns, household trinkets, and scientific instruments. In the past few years, the use of 3D printers has been on the rise, and their price has dropped substantially, making it an accessible and affordable technology for an increasing number of industrial applications. Until recently, most additive […]
