New York-based company 3Dphotoworks is aiming to make the 2D world of art accessible to blind people using a 3D printing process that turns paintings, drawings and photographs into 3D printed tactile fine art. Developed in collaboration with the Nat…

According to the BBC, Carnegie Mellon University researchers are exploring advanced uses of 3D printers: printing with biological materials. Having adapted a low-cost MakerBot 3D printer for their purposes,

The recent hype over 3D printing, also known as additive manufacturing, shoudln’t fool you into thinking it's new. This process – which consists of printing layer upon layer of a material, usually plastic, to make an object out of a 3D digital drawi…

Automotive manufacturers have been experimenting with 3D printing for some time now. Some manufacturers see the technology as a way to customize vehicles, while others are building 3D printed car bodies. It certainly seems as though additive manufac…

When Megan Thompson was just over 30 weeks pregnant with her son Conan, doctors noticed a large mass on his face during an ultrasound that they couldn't identify. Fearing the mass may be cancerous, doctors didn't know if it would block the baby's ai…

Learn how Israel is revolutionizing large-scale 3D printing, in technology that may one day rapidly print airplane parts.

The field of 3D printing has taken the world by storm but is still relatively new, and perhaps unsurprisingly Israelis are lead…

The tech world has been booming recently with endless news about two of the up-and-coming industries of 3D printing and drone technology. Naturally, these two fields have seen a good deal of cross-pollination, the latest of which is evidenced in the…

Kaiba Gionfriddo was born prematurely in 2011. After 8 months his lung development caused concerns, although he was sent home with his parents as his breathing was normal. Six weeks later, Kaiba stopped breathing and turned blue. 

Some have claimed that the advance of medical (and computer) technology is progressing at a rate faster than the human mind can assimilate. 3D printing is simply two-dimensional printing built upwards. The most exciting aspect of 3D printing involve…

The palette of materials that can be used as 3-D printing “ink” is quickly growing in diversity, but one ubiquitous material has, until now, been absent: transparent glass. Researchers have cracked the challenge of printing glass through a nozzle.
