Researchers at the Vienna University of Technology (TU Wien) have developed a 3D printing process that allows hidden codes and symbols to be built directly into printed materials. The new method gives scientists control over the structure and properties of the material at every point, enabling objects that can change appearance depending on temperature. Published […]

UK-based rocket and space technology company Skyrora has been selected as a prime contractor in the European Space Agency’s (ESA) General Support Technology Programme (GSTP). The project focuses on additive manufacturing (AM) of Tanbium, a high-temperature alloy developed in collaboration with UK specialist in custom metal powders Metalysis and Thermo-Calc Solutions, a provider in Integrated […]

Researchers at the McGill University, supported by funding from the National Institutes of Health (NIH), have created what is being called the smallest bioprinter reported to date—just 2.7 mm wide—that can accurately deliver hydrogels to vocal cords during surgery, helping prevent post-operative stiffness and improve patients’ ability to speak. The study was published in Cell […]
