3d printed skull

We have taken many news about the importance of 3D printing for the health industry, especially when it comes to prosthetics (3D Printed Hands for Disabled Children) but now, a new milestone has been set in the operating rooms of a hospital in Holland to create a 3D printed skull. Before we move on, some of the images might be a little too strong for some viewers. Before we get into the real case, we must remember that this is not the first case of a bone transplant, in fact, in China bone replacements are fairly common now and at[…]

Since the first 3D printers made its debut, companies have benefited from them in great ways, from cost savings to switching almost entirely from mass manufacturing to mass 3D printing manufacturing, of course, for them getting hands on raw material is not much of a deal. But what about the average Joe? Even though over the last year or two 3D printers have undergone a smashing cut on prices, getting the raw materials to have your creations 3D printed before your eyes is quiet an endeavour for your wallet (What are the Types of 3D Printing Materials?). Before we move[…]

3d printing technology

Just when you thought that 3D printing had found all of its uses in the most unthinkable applications a new use arises. Today, let me tell you hot 3D printing is helping decommissioned power plants deal with the disposal of nuclear waste.

It’s been there since 1940, it has had its ups and downs and in 2003 it was decommissioned and the cost for decommissioning it was a mere 70 billion pounds, in this case it was all from the tax[…]

So far we are all familiar with what 3D printing can provide to us as, but what if we were to tell you that there is something beyond 3D printing, something that goes not just into the ability to print in x,y and z but that also has a 4th element to it, this 4th element is called 4D printing (obviously). But what is 4D printing, well as we just mentioned we know that 3D printing takes its name by the coordinate system, x and y (your basic ink jet) and x,y and z for the added third dimension which[…]

Unless you have spent the last couple of months living under a rock with no internet connection or human interaction you must be familiar with what Project Ara is, if you are not then let’s take a minute to recapitulate in what this project is and what is its relation with 3D printing technology? A few months a video surfaced on youtube showing a very interesting concept by Dave Hakkens about how we as consumers perceive phones and how the industry is driven by quick changes in technology, and we, the consumer are always one step behind the new trends.[…]
