UA Researchers Study How to Regrow Long Bone Segments Using 3D Printing
Not all broken bones heal. But one scientist at the University of Arizona hopes to remedy that problem using a combination of 3D printing and adult stem cells.
"Imagine an impact that causes half of...
3D Printing Mimics Metals
Additive manufacturing combines with metallurgy to design strong, lightweight materials.
3D Printing MimicsMetals: Astronauts on the International Space Station have had access to an orbiting 3D printer for several years now. But the real advances...
Rapid and continuous 3-D printing with light
Three-dimensional (3-D) printing, also known as additive manufacturing (AM), can transform a material layer by layer to build an object of interest. 3-D printing is not a new concept since stereolithography printers have existed...
