New 3D Printing Method for Multicolor Microstructures
By adjusting the number of layers of multicolor resins, the researchers could adjust the light absorbance for each part of a structure. This allowed them to create black in microstructures such as this cross shape by combining layers of red, blue, green, and yellow....
New Electronic Fiber Sensors Said to “Smell” and “Hear”
The "invisible" 3D printed fiber sensors could be used to power electronic devices and sensors that are capable of sensing breath and sound. A device that's able to sense smells, sound, and touch in the way humans do may be one step closer to becoming a reality thanks...
New Method of 3D-Printing Soft Materials Could Jump-Start Creation of Tiny Medical Devices for the Body
Illustration of a prospective biocompatible interface shows that hydrogels (green tubing), which can be generated by an electron or X-ray beam 3D-printing process, act as artificial synapses or junctions, connecting neurons (brown) to electrodes (yellow). ....
Copper coating on 3D-printed plastic filters proposed as a pandemic fighter
In the ongoing fight against COVID-19, experts on microbiology and copper are recommending an expanded use of the metal to reduce the virus's spread. So might copper be incorporated into the construction of masks, the universally accepted virus-fighting personal item?...
Carnegie Mellon pioneers 3D printed sensor that detects COVID-19 antibodies in seconds
A new COVID-19 antibody detection device developed by researchers at Carnegie Mellon University, capable of identifying the antibodies within 10 to 15 seconds, is now entering a trial stage with COVID patients. . The innovative system consists of a low-cost sensor...
3D printing inside the body will help stomach ulcer patients
Scientists from China have presented a robot printer that can be inserted into the human body, where the device will produce new tissues. So you can cure stomach ulcers and other diseases, and this does not require large-scale surgical intervention. . The researchers...
ASTM Drives 3D Printing Standards via Investment into Eight Crucial Projects
Nonprofit organization ASTM International announced its third round of funding to support research that will help expedite standards in additive manufacturing (AM). . The group creates and publishes technical standards for a range of industries, materials, products,...
3D Printing Method Jump-Starts Tiny Medical Devices for the Body
Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology ( NIST ) have developed a new method of 3D-printing gels and other soft materials. Published in a new paper, it has the potential to create complex structures with nanometer-scale precision. . Because...
3D Printed Self-Healing Polymers for More Realistic Prosthetics
Researchers have developed a new family of self-healing polymers they believe can help in the production of more realistic, human-like prosthetics. . A team at Texas A&M University, working with the U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command Army Research...
