Dovetail joints on a piece of furniture are one of those features that make it say “master carpenter” rather than “IKEA”. Traditional hand-made dovetails require accurate me… ...

Food scientists are paving the way for 3D-printed food and pharmaceuticals based on drought-tolerant grain sorghum protein that won't turn into a blob.

Bristle worms have protrusions that act like a 3D printer, helping us to understand how cells regenerate. Most people will ...

The Kinotek 3D scan motion capture technology helps physical therapists treat injured patients with movement asymmetries and compensation.

A 3D-printed template was fabricated using intra-oral scanning, CAD, virtual modeling and 3D printing as in the first case. Finally, the 3D-printed template was fabricated (Figure 8).

With the help of a 3D printed salt template, ETH researchers have succeeded in producing magnesium scaffolds with structured porosity that are suitable for bioresorbable bone implants.

The potential for 3D bioprinting has been further expanded thanks to the work of engineers from the University of New South Wales (UNSW), who have developed a soft robotic arm that can print ...

A new bioprinter uses ultrasound to non-invasively 3D print tissues, biosensors, and medication depots deep in the body.

A new 3D printing method uses ice to build a template for artificial blood vessels in engineered tissue. Researchers hope the vessels could eventually be used in artificial organ transplants or ...

Now this really is jaw-dropping: Doctors used a 3D printer to create a replacement jaw--a world first.

In the TV series Westworld, human body parts are built on robotic frames using 3D printers. While still far from this scenario, 3D printers are being increasingly used in medicine.
