When a company can print an entire home in less than 24 hours for under $10,000, it’s somewhat surprising that it’s not front-page news for several days in a row. However, most people haven’t even heard of start-up companies like Apis Cor and New Story. These organizations are making tremendous strides to close a gap and provide functioning homes to the many people who need them with the help of 3D printing. While still in its infancy, additive manufacturing may soon be poised to revolutionize an industry that, in many ways, could desperately use a shake-up. (more…)

Open a door and watch what happens — the hinge allows it to open and close, but doesn’t permanently bend. This simple concept of mechanical motion is vital for making all kinds of movable structures, including mirrors and antennas on spacecraft. Material scientists at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, are working on new, innovative methods of creating materials that can be used for motion-based mechanisms. (more…)

Study Finds Natural Compound Can Be Used for 3-D Printing of Medical Implants

Researchers from North Carolina State University, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and Laser Zentrum Hannover have discovered that a naturally-occurring compound can be incorporated into three-dimensional (3-D) printing processes to create medical implants out of non-toxic polymers. The compound is riboflavin, which is better known as vitamin B2.

“This opens the door to a much wider range of biocompatible implant materials, which can be used to develop customized implant designs using 3-D printing technology,” says Dr. Roger Narayan, senior author of a paper describing the work and a professor in the joint biomedical engineering department at NC State and UNC-Chapel Hill.
