Writing in the journal Additive Manufacturing, a team of researchers from the Manipal Academy of Higher Education in India have reported the development of a 3D printed self-moisturizing contact lens. Currently in pre-proof, the research has implications for the development of next-generation contact lens-based medical devices.
In an article recently published in the journal Additive Manufacturing, authors proposed a path planning algorithm for the printhead of fused deposition modeling (FDM) 3D printer to generate a single-stroke path and continuously print the shape without the need for repetitive filament cutting for every layer. The fabricated samples were also characterized by the authors using X-ray computed tomography (CT).
Don't be fooled by the name. While 3D printers do print tangible objects (and quite well), how they do the job doesn't actually happen in 3D, but rather in regular old 2D.
In an article recently published in the journal Additive Manufacturing, researchers estimated the warping in robotic 3D-printed continuous fiber-reinforced composites.
Glass possesses excellent transparency as well as stability when it comes in contact with chemicals or heat and is hence considered to be appropriate for several high-tech applications.
Writing in Polymers, a team of researchers from India’s Vellore Institute of Technology and Yeungnam University in Korea have reviewed current advances in 3D-printed bioactive glasses for use in bone tissue engineering.
Versatile and ubiquitous, glass is increasingly found in specialized applications such as fiber optics, consumer electronics and microfluidics for "lab-on-a-chip" devices. However, traditional glassmaking techniques can be costly and slow, and 3D-printing glass often results in rough textures, making them unsuitable for smooth lenses.
Imagine a future where it would be possible to 3D-print a complete robot or stretchy, electronic medical device at the touch of a button, eliminating the need for hours of tedious manual assembly.
In a review recently published in the journal Bioprinting, researchers presented an extrusion-based bioprinting platform made of biodegradable polyester.
In an article recently published in the journal Additive Manufacturing, researchers discussed the material extrusion of solid epoxy for functional 3D printing with isotropic mechanical properties.
