MIT researchers created VisiPrint, an AI tool that shows exactly how 3D-printed objects will look before printing, helping makers avoid wasteful reprints. The system could slash the estimated one-third of 3D printing material that currently ends up in landfills.
Three engineers from IIT Gandhinagar are revolutionizing construction with 3D printing technology that builds earthquake-resistant homes in weeks instead of months. Their startup MiCoB just delivered India's first 3D-printed military housing unit to the Indian Army.
Scientists at MIT just solved one of the biggest problems in 3D bioprinting with a simple magnetic device that could help create replacement organs. The innovation keeps living cells perfectly mixed during printing, making lab-grown tissues more reliable for testing drugs and potentially replacing damaged human organs.
A Colorado engineer inspired by her mother's death from breast cancer is developing 3D-printed scaffolds that help survivors grow their own natural breast tissue after surgery. The breakthrough could give 300,000 women annually a safer, more natural alternative to traditional implants.
Researchers have found a way to cool down a revolutionary 3D printing method that creates entire objects in seconds instead of building them layer by layer. The breakthrough could help the technology scale up for real-world manufacturing.
Scientists at UNLV created lifelike 3D-printed sea lion models that let veterinarians practice life-saving procedures without harming real animals. The breakthrough could help save hundreds of sea lions sickened by toxic algae blooms along California's coast.
A Colorado engineer who lost her mother to breast cancer has created 3D-printed tissue scaffolds that could help survivors heal using their own cells. The breakthrough could replace implants with a natural solution that restores both body and dignity.
Scientists at Oak Ridge National Laboratory just solved one of 3D printing's biggest problems: how to print with multiple materials at once without switching equipment or sacrificing speed. Their new system could transform everything from airplane parts to bridge construction.
Singapore is constructing its first 3D-printed pedestrian bridge, a breakthrough project that could solve construction labor shortages while creating stunning designs impossible with traditional methods. The 10-meter bridge connecting two neighborhoods will be assembled from concrete segments printed layer by layer, no construction molds required.
Researchers at Concordia University created a breakthrough 3D printing method that uses ultrasound instead of heat or light to build tiny medical devices. The technique prints structures 10 times smaller than previous methods, opening doors for faster medical diagnostics and wearable health tech.
Malaysia is developing the country's first official standards for 3D construction printing, paving the way for faster, cheaper, and more sustainable building projects. The groundbreaking collaboration could position the nation as a regional leader in construction innovation.
Two New Zealand companies have created the world's first 3D printing filament colored with wool instead of synthetic dyes. The breakthrough gives manufacturers a renewable alternative while delivering unique, nature-inspired results.
Malaysia is creating the country's first industry standards for 3D printed construction, a breakthrough that could transform how homes and buildings are built. The move tackles labor shortages, waste, and rising costs while positioning Malaysia as a regional innovation leader.
Singapore is building its first pedestrian bridge using 3D printing technology, making construction six times faster while cutting the workforce in half. The groundbreaking project opens in 2028.
Pro golfer Bryson DeChambeau is taking DIY to a whole new level at the Masters, playing with a 5-iron he designed and 3D-printed himself. The "Mad Scientist" of golf just proved that innovation knows no limits.
Scientists are using 3D printing technology to make life-saving CAR T-cell cancer therapy faster and cheaper. This breakthrough could help thousands of patients who currently can't access or afford this cutting-edge treatment.
Japanese researchers have solved a problem that's plagued 3D printing since its invention: wasted material that can't be reused. Their breakthrough resin can be melted down and reprinted endlessly without losing quality.
Singapore is constructing its first 3D-printed pedestrian bridge, cutting construction time by 75% while using half the workforce. The 10-meter bridge connecting Jurong West to Tengah town showcases how smart technology can solve labor shortages while building faster.
University of Mississippi researchers created a customizable 3D-printed patch that helps chronic wounds heal faster using natural, biodegradable materials. The breakthrough could transform treatment for millions suffering from diabetic ulcers and pressure sores.
Researchers discovered how to control a metal's strength simply by adjusting laser speed during 3D printing, creating materials that can be tailored for any need. The breakthrough turns manufacturing into a design tool for next-generation technology.
