A family-run clothing brand in Ahmedabad is bringing centuries-old hand block printing back to life with quirky designs like elephants wearing sunglasses. They're earning ₹1.5 crore annually while giving 25% directly to artisan partners.
A Gujarat family is saving a 300-year-old craft while building a thriving business that ships hand block printed clothing worldwide. Their brand Chhapa now supports 25 artisans and generates Rs 1.5 crore annually.
Researchers at ETH Zurich just 3D printed an entire robot hand in a single process, complete with bones, joints, tendons, and touch sensors that mimic human anatomy. This breakthrough brings us closer to creating robots that move and feel like living creatures.
Researchers at Ohio State University successfully transformed lunar rock into durable construction material using laser-based 3D printing. This breakthrough could help astronauts build Moon bases using materials already on the lunar surface.
Four Indigenous women from Broome are displaying hand-carved block prints on silk at one of Western Australia's biggest Aboriginal art exhibitions. For several of them, including grandmother and granddaughter working side by side, it's their first time showing art professionally.
Artificial intelligence just cracked a puzzle that could have taken decades to solve by hand. After searching through 100 million possibilities, AI found a way to print a high-performance NASA alloy using far less power and much cheaper equipment.
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.
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.
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.
Jackie Kirwan lost her daughter Georgie to epilepsy, but when she met the woman who received Georgie's hand in a rare transplant, she got to hold her daughter's hand one more time. Their emotional meeting is raising awareness about organ donation and life-changing transplants.
Engineers can now print a fully functional electric motor in about three hours for 50 cents, potentially ending costly factory delays from broken parts. MIT researchers developed a breakthrough platform that prints complex machines using multiple materials in one step.
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.
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.
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.
A Kentucky elementary teacher who taught himself 3D printing created a prosthetic hand for his student born without one, costing just $4 to make. Now he's sharing his lesson on humility with the next generation of educators.
Too impatient to wait for computers, NASA engineers bought pastels from an art store and hand-colored the first close-up photo of Mars using printed numbers. Their accidental color choices perfectly matched Mars' real hues.
Australia's CSIRO has opened Lab22, a cutting-edge facility that's helping businesses transform manufacturing through metal 3D printing. Since 2015, over 4,000 visitors have discovered how this technology can create complex parts faster and cheaper than ever before.
A faded handprint hidden beneath a chicken drawing in an Indonesian cave just rewrote human history. Scientists confirmed it's the oldest known rock art on Earth, proving ancient humans in Southeast Asia were creating meaningful art tens of thousands of years before European cave paintings.
Singapore researchers just proved that 3D-printed concrete can build actual structural components for buildings while using 30% less material and half the workers. The breakthrough could reshape construction in crowded cities facing labor shortages.
