The technique developed by Purdue University researchers embeds sensor particles in the 3D-printing filament, expanding the design envelope for fully functional parts in a range of shapes.

The partnership will further “chair-side 3D printing” and focus on the production of more sophisticated devices based on new resins.

Boston Micro Fabrication debuts high-throughput 3D printer that produces 25-micrometer parts and Chromatic 3D Materials has developed software that enables durable, flexible materials to be printed on metal, plastic, or textile substrates of any...

Startup 9T Labs replaced the aluminum rear suspension rocker arm on the Saroléa motorcycle with a carbon-fiber composite, cutting weight in half.

At MD&M Minneapolis, a keynote presentation in partnership with AM Medical discussed individual cases that have benefitted from 3D printing.

The upgraded BioFabrication Facility (BFF) aims to prove that microgravity is conducive to bioprinting. The ultimate goal is to print human organs in space for patients needing transplants on Earth.

3D printing’s sweet spot is in high-value, low-volume production, the opposite of injection molding. Here’s the good, bad, and ugly of both technologies, and advice on when it makes sense to pivot from one to the other.

The technique slashed cost and lead time for producing prototype parts.

Manufacturers are using 3D printing’s flexibility to keep up with consumer trends without replacing existing tooling.
