3D Printing Process Combines Plastic and Metal
Researchers at Waseda University in Japan have developed a metal-plastic hybrid 3D printing technique that fabricates plastic objects with an adhesive metal coating on defined areas. . People can currently use 3D printers to create objects out of either plastic or...
3D-printing “error” used to produce high-tech textiles
DefeXtiles can be 3D-printed out of various polymers, depending on the desired characteristics When a 3D printer leaves gaps in the plastic that it deposits, it's usually thought of as an unwanted flaw. Now, however, the process has been harnessed to quickly and...
A new step forward for nanoscale 3D printing
With the infinitely small approaches, 3D printing has to choose between speed and resolution, which makes its industrial applications difficult. . Researchers at the LCH and the Osaka Nanomaterials Research Institute have therefore developed a system based on a...
3D Printing Technique Differentiates Stem Cells Into Heart Cells
TAMPINES, Singapore—Scientists at the Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD) report that they have 3D printed heart cells to control stem cell differentiation in embryoid bodies, which are stem cells packed into small cellular aggregates or spheres. ....
