Warping is one of the most frustrating issues in 3D printing. It causes prints to peel up from the build plate or distort as layers cool. This problem is pervasive with materials like ABS but can ...

(Nanowerk News) Structural defects that form during additive manufacturing, also known as 3D printing, are a barrier to some applications of this technology. Researchers used diagnostic tools and ...

Using X-ray beams and machine learning for detecting structural defects, such as pore formation, can help prevent failure of metal 3D-printed parts. Systematic computer-based material design uses ...

3D printing techniques are transforming many areas of manufacturing. One such technique, laser powder bed fusion (LPBF), is particularly attractive because it can be used to make complex metal parts ...

The heart of a newborn child can weigh as little as 20 grams and fits on a human palm. Performing a procedure on such a small heart brings a lot of difficulties. There is never a dull moment in 3D ...

Personalised 3D printed models created from cardiac imaging data, mainly from cardiac CT images have been increasingly used in cardiovascular disease, primarily in the preoperative planning and ...

UVM Medical Center uses 3D printing to create low-cost medical training models for rural Vermont paramedics and EMTs. These models offer more frequent practice opportunities for crucial, but ...
