3D Printer Buying Guide 2018
Since our buying guide last year, a lot has changed in 3D Print-Land. More functional desktop 3D printers have emerged, and a slew of competitors entered the low-cost 3D printing space. All of this...
AWACS maintainers at leading edge of 3-D printing
Imagine you’re in aircraft maintenance and a mission is scheduled to fly in the next 24 hours. You need a part that hasn’t been manufactured in more than 30 years. A specially-commissioned replacement is...
3-D printed microscope for medical diagnostics
Researchers have used 3D printing to make an inexpensive and portable high-resolution microscope that is small and robust enough to use in the field or at the bedside. The high-resolution 3D images provided by...
Airlines’ DIY Option: Make Your Own Parts
Owner-operator-produced parts are almost a DIY approach for airlines to get quality parts faster and cheaper.
As airlines grapple with parts availability and costs, some are taking remedial action through owner-operator-produced parts (OOPP)—also known as...
Microelectrode arrays Printed Directly onto Gummies
Microelectrode arrays (MEAs) provide promising opportunities to study electrical signals in neuronal and cardiac cell networks, restore sensory function, or treat disorders of the nervous system. Nevertheless, most of the currently investigated devices rely...
Hierarchical 3-D printing of nanoporous gold could
New Nanoporous metals are superior catalysts for chemical reactions due to their large surface area and high electrical conductivity, making them perfect candidates for applications such as electrochemical reactors, sensors, and actuators.
In a study...
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...
