Researchers at the University of Wollongong have created a pen that uses 3D printing technology and bio ink to "draw" over sections of damaged bone. Michelle Starr Science editor Michelle Starr is ...

The 3D printing revolution is a pretty regimented one, when you think about it. You detail the design, feed it into the printer, then sit back and watch as it emits the material in strict horizontal ...

Although we may think of 3D-printed items as being hard, they're actually often made from soft gels, as is the case with bioprinted body parts. A new system now allows such objects to be printed at a ...

It turns out 3D-printing objects that can change color is only the beginning. New research has revealed a material that can alter its shape over time in response to temperature changes, taking ...

Vat photopolymerization is a 3D printing technique in which a light-sensitive resin is poured into a vat, and then ...

While scientists have had success in the past printing structures like “bionic ears,” a clear path to making functional internal organs and tissue hasn’t really emerged. However, researchers at the ...

Researchers at North Carolina State University have developed a new, electrically conductive metallic gel that can be used with commercial-grade 3D printers. As well as conducting electricity, the ...
