Wake Forest researchers create microscopic model of the human body
Researchers at the Wake Forest Institute for Regenerative Medicine (WFIRM) in North Carolina have 3D bioprinted a microscopic model of the human body containing most of the vital organs. The miniature system will be used to detect potentially harmful effects of drugs before they are trialed with humans. The team expects the sophisticated lab model […]
RMIT proves 3D printed titanium alloys can be enhanced by addition of copper
Researchers at Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (RMIT) in Australia have trialled a new material for metal 3D printing that combines titanium alloy with copper. Developed by RMIT’s School of Engineering, titanium-copper alloys were created in a bid to prevent cracking and distortion that can affect titanium when 3D printing. RMIT states that the material […]
The best way of collecting water in the desert: 3D printed beetles, cacti or grass?
Water, the most vital human need, is in scarce supply for more than 40% of the global population. In the desert, of course, we couldn’t survive without it. However, many other living creatures do. Through bioinspired design researchers at Ohio State University have 3D printed objects capable of extracting water from air. By scaling-up these […]
