Exploring the Frontiers of 3D Bioprinting

New 3D printing process can control fiber orientation in composites

A novel 3D printing method can yield unprecedented control over the arrangement of short fibers embedded in polymer matrices.

Ultrafast cooling produces strong and ductile printed metal parts

A new technique for 3D printing metals, which utilizes ultrafast cooling, can produce components with exceptional levels of strength and ductility.

Printed schwarzites retain their strength at any scale

Using 3D printers, engineers have turned formerly theoretical structures known as schwarzites into strong, light materials with repeating patterns.

New biomaterials disappear on demand

Using a compound derived from seaweed, engineers have developed a technique for making 3D-printed biomaterials that can degrade on demand.
