A 3D printing process that uses a wood-based ink to produce components with the unique ‘ultrastructure’ of wood has been demonstrated by a group of researchers from Sweden’s Chalmers University.
FsLDW allows the fabrication of higher-level microstructures to manipulate light signals, including the waveguide coupled microdisks for light remote control and the coupled double-microdisk resonators for laser mode selection
Bioengineers have cleared a major hurdle on the path to 3D printing replacement organs. It's a breakthrough technique for bioprinting tissues with exquisitely entangled vascular networks that mimic the body's natural passageways for blood, air, lymph, and other vital fluids.
Researchers have successfully 3D printed chalcogenide glass, a unique material used to make optical components that operate at mid-infrared wavelengths.
A team of researchers have a built a new 3D fabric skin which can make the robots feel all kinds of sensitivity; possibly helpful in health and defence fields; Know more here
Researchers from DLR German Aerospace Center found an advanced way to build homes. they have 3D printed bricks from the moon-dust and baked in the solar furnace. the furnace is made of 147 mirrors to focus the sunlight on a single point of the beam.
