Some artists are embracing 3D printing as a new medium, allowing them to create intricate 3D compositions that are difficult to produce in any other way. But the rigid, plastic-based materials used in ...

EPFL researchers have published a method for 3D-printing an ink that contains calcium carbonate-producing bacteria. The 3D-printed mineralized bio-composite is unprecedently strong, light, and ...

Most methods for manufacturing 3D printer ink involve the addition of various materials to provide strength and structure to the ink. According to new research from Nanyang Technological University, ...

A San Francisco-based company, Emerging Objects, has created new 3D printing materials that aren't just the standard plastic, but composed of wood, concrete, and even salt. Share on Facebook (opens in ...

We spend a lot of time thinking of how to create 3D objects, but what about being able to print full color graphics on the objects we create? This isn’t just multicolor, this is full-color! Here’s one ...

Imagine this: 3D-printed body parts that are printed directly in the body. Sounds far out, right? But new research from an interdisciplinary team of scientists has created a bio-ink designed for ...
