Researchers at the Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD), under the leadership of Associate Professor Michinao Hashimoto, have introduced a new technique for 3D printing electrically conductive structures using eco-friendly materials. By merging immersion precipitation with direct ink writing (DIW), they successfully produced robust and accurately shaped components from a composite of cellulose acetate […]

French non-profit organization My Human Kit is collaborating with Sculpteo, France-based digital manufacturing company and subsidiary of BASF, to design and manufacture an open-source bionic hand. The Bionicohand, conceived and developed by Nicolas Huchet—co-founder of My Human Kit and a forearm amputee—reflects the organization’s mission to create personalized, accessible, and sustainable prosthetics. “Our collaboration with […]

A desktop 3D printer developed by two MIT graduates is designed to turn household food waste into usable objects. Created by Yiqing Wang and Biru Cao, the FOODres.AI Printer combines artificial intelligence, real-time material analysis, and extrusion-based 3D printing to repurpose organic scraps such as banana peels and vegetable trimmings. The project originated within the […]

AMAZEMET, a Warsaw-based company developing ultrasonic atomization systems and laboratory-scale equipment for additive manufacturing, has introduced a new on-demand atomization service aimed at researchers working on experimental metal powders. The Atomization Service enables small-batch production starting at just 50 grams of material, addressing a persistent bottleneck in materials research and alloy development. Conventional techniques such […]
