Defining a new paradigm: Harvard researchers invent multimaterial multinozzle 3D printing

Researchers at Harvard University have developed a new method of 3D printing. Termed multimaterial multinozzle 3D printing, or MM3D, the method seeks to help define the emerging paradigm of voxel by voxel fabrication. In this paradigm, 3D printed parts are composed of minute building blocks. Each of these blocks has a different material composition, and are […]

Harvard researchers develop SWIFT method to 3D print organ building blocks

Researchers from Harvard University’s Wyss Institute have developed a novel sacrificial ink-writing technique called SWIFT (sacrificial writing into functional tissue) to 3D print large, vascularized human organ building blocks (OBBs). Demonstrating its method, the team has created cardiac tissue that fuses and beats synchronously over a 7-day period. This enables the rapid assembly of perfusable […]
