Self-lubricating alloys 3D printed above 600 °C

Self-lubricating alloys 3D printed above 600 °C

Virginia Tech is leading a $2 million project to create 3D-printed metal alloys that self-lubricate above 600 °C, leveraging controlled oxidation to generate low-friction layers without external lubricants.

Sequential 3D scaffold for bone regeneration from NTU

Sequential 3D scaffold for bone regeneration from NTU

Researchers at NTU Singapore have developed a 3D-printed bone scaffold that releases amoxicillin in the early stages to control infections and then stimulates vascularization and bone regeneration through copper ions and hydroxyapatite.

Conductive 3D lattices: damage is mapped with tomography

Conductive 3D lattices: damage is mapped with tomography

3D-printed lattices made with conductive resin become distributed sensors: electrical tomography reconstructs the map of internal damage in real time. Study by the University of Glasgow published in Advanced Functional Materials.

RepRap Micron: the smallest 3DBenchy is 0.650 mm

RepRap Micron: the smallest 3DBenchy is 0.650 mm

The open-source RepRap project printed a 0.650 mm 3DBenchy in 13 hours with the Micron printer, which is still under development. It is the first test of its kind, with the goal of achieving a resolution of up to 0.001 mm.
