Researchers created a special glue gun that can 3D print a bone-like substance for fracture repair during surgery and have tested it in early experiments. The prime motive of this innovation is to ...

During a complicated bone surgery, every second matters. The longer a wound is open, the more likely it is to become infected and injured. Now picture this: Surgeons can now print a new piece of bone ...

A new 3D printing “glue gun” can generate bone grafts directly onto fractures. The revolutionary device has already been tested in animals. Now, researchers in South Korea are preparing for human ...

Given some biodegradable 3D printing filament and tasked with doing something creative with it, Vimal Patel built an extruder using Lego, attached it to a rather ordinary hot glue gun and ended up ...

Have a look at the object to the right. Using a conventional fused deposition printer, how would you print the object? There’s no flat surface to lay on the bed without generating a lot of overhangs.

In context: Several recent experiments have broadened the potential applications for 3D printing. Although most users wouldn't consider hot glue a viable building material, it has important ...

Three-dimensional (3D) printing has emerged in recent years from a boutique-style manufacturing alternative to become a mainstream conventional manufacturing process in an increasing number of ...
