3D printers can now create objects in all the colors of the rainbow

One of the most energy-efficient 3D printing techniques has received a long-needed upgrade. Spanish researchers have come up with a new photosensitizer that allows selective laser sintering (SLS) printers to directly print vivid colors onto their products. 3D printing technology has come a long way since it was invented in the 1980s. It is now […]

Scientists push the boundaries of additive manufacturing like never before

Special molecules that are triggered by the presence of light and other gentle stimuli are steadily seeing more uses in applications aside from adaptive eye-wear. British researchers found a way to print out these photochromic molecules using a cheap 3D printer, an article in Alpha Galileo stated. Thanks to the proven capabilities of the 3D […]

New paddling submarine needs no engine or power supply

According to a report, a group of scientists has created a unique paddling submarine, which doesn’t need an engine, a power supply, or propellant, using only 3D. The researchers from ETH Zurich, who were led by professor Kristina Shea, collaborated with researchers from the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) in Pasadena, California, to develop a new propulsion concept for […]

The future of transportation: Autonomous boats that can be 3D-printed

On your next visit to Amsterdam or Bangkok or Venice, that gondola you board might be driven by a robot instead of a human – and 3D printed rather than built. An article in Science Daily states that automated boats could one day ply the canals and rivers of cities, laden with cargo and passengers […]

Space manufacturing: Scientists looking toward the stars to create stronger materials

Space might be dangerous, but it also possesses unique qualities that make it perfect for producing certain materials and products. According to a Space.com article, experts and researchers believe stronger materials, bigger and purer crystals, and even new organs can be developed and manufactured in space. Microgravity permits the unhindered growth, even mixing, and cementing […]

Scientists connect 3D-printed objects to the internet without use of electronics

3D printing is the definition of a true sleeping giant. It has the potential to shake up multiple industries, from prototyping to manufacturing, as well as in fields such as medicine and the arts. It has come a long way since it first hit the mass market a few years ago, but it’s still quite […]

Will 3D printed food become a reality in the future? Scientists want to create an appliance that can turn powdered ingredients into “real” food

The technology behind 3D printing has changed a lot since it was created in the 1980s. These days, 3D printers can easily fit on a desktop – a far cry from its clunky predecessors which took up a lot of space – and churn out just about anything. For Jin-Kyu Rhee, a professor at Ehwa Womans […]

The radical plan to design a starship out of hollowed out asteroids

Dutch-based researchers have a radical plan for any near-Earth asteroid that can be hollowed out by asteroid miners. They are going to turn it into a huge starship that can travel between stars, an article in the Daily Mail states. This generational ship would be big enough to hold entire generations of crew and passengers […]

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 […]

Building method for 3D-printed houses close to being perfected by non-profit org

3D printing is beginning to look like the next “miracle solution” to many of the world’s biggest problems. Recently, a non-profit organization called New Story tried using 3D printing in collaboration with construction tech company ICON, in order to build 3D-printed homes for people who were living in a developing country. By all accounts, their […]
