It might look like some bizarre alien artwork but this is actually a frictionless gear mechanism, 3D-printed all in one in…
3D-printed ceramics may increase gas turbine fuel efficiency, researchers report
Stephen Lynch, associate professor of mechanical engineering, holds metal 3D-printed turbine vanes that are tested in the high speed cascade shown in the background.…
Get Ready for 3D-Printed Organs and a Knife That ‘Smells’ Tumors
To doctors and nurses working 75 years ago, when the UK’s National Health Service was founded, a modern ward would be completely unrecognizable. Fast-forward into the future, and hospitals are likely to look very different again. These are…
Augmented listening: A cocktail party of 3D-printed robot heads
The head simulators are 3D-printed into components and assembled, enabling customization at low cost. Credit: Augmented Listening Laboratory at the University of…
The first 3D-printed biodegradable seed robot, able to change shape in response to humidity
The first I-Seed created at IIT is inspired by the seed structure of a South African geranium, the Pelargonium appendiculatum, whose ability to change shape in…
3D-printed revolving devices can sense how they are moving
MIT researchers created a system that enables makers to incorporate sensors directly into rotational mechanisms with only one pass in a 3D printer. This gives…
3D-printed insoles measure sole pressure directly in the shoe
Researchers at ETH Zurich, Empa and EPFL are developing a 3D-printed insole with integrated sensors that allows the pressure of the sole to be measured in the shoe and thus during any activity. This helps athletes or patients to determine…
