We’ve reported before on microfluidics technology, and how it can be used in combination with 3D printing for all kinds of useful and often life-saving applications. The latest breakthrough was carried out by researchers at the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology Graduate University (OIST), in collaboration with a team from the University of Liverpool. via Tumblr 3D printed microfluidics helps OIST research on vortices in moving liquids, potentially saving millions for oil industry An ambitious seventh grader from Colorado has just been named “America’s top young scientist” for having invented a low-cost 3D printed device that can detect lead in drinking water. The youngster in question, 11-year-old Gitanjali Rao, was also awarded a $25,000 prize along with the title. via Tumblr 11-year-old Gitanjali Rao wins $25K for inventing 3D printed device that detects lead levels in water Researchers from the University of Houston have released an open-source dataset for turning a smartphone into a 3D printed microscope. Such a microscope can be used to detect waterborne pathogens and carry out other helpful diagnostic functions. via Tumblr Scientists release a How-To for building a DIY microscope with smartphone and 3D printer Bio-based materials are becoming more important to 3D printing, for a number of reasons. A major factor is the relatively small impact they have on the environment, as they are sustainable, non-polluting and relatively cheap and safe to produce. via Tumblr Scandinavian researchers turning to cellulose nanofibrils as versatile bio-based 3D printing material Engineers at MIT have developed a laser-assisted FDM 3D printer that prints around 10 times faster than average desktop machines. The new 3D printer’s unusual printhead uses a laser and novel screw mechanism to increase flow rate. via Tumblr MIT engineers develop 10x faster desktop FDM 3D printer Turkish 3D printer distributor Teknodizayn has unveiled the first functional prototype of its new LOOP 3D printer. The new machine, which was presented at formnext 2017, is based on a patented technology inspired by injection molding and integrates a novel continuous printing mechanism. via Tumblr Teknodizayn showcases injection molding inspired LOOP 3D printer with continuous printing capabilities While it may seem like the fidget spinner fad has run its course, we just came across a new 3D printed one that may change some minds. Researchers from the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL)—not your typical toy factory—have created what is most certainly the world’s smallest fidget spinner using additive manufacturing technology. via Tumblr ORNL scientists 3D print the worlds smallest fidget spinner, the width of a human hair Meet Ethereal Machine Halo a hybrid 5D Printer for both additive and subtractive manufacturing11/28/2017 An ambitious startup based in Bangalore, India is making waves with its new Halo 5D printer, a device that its creator says is a serious step up from traditional 3D printing. Kaushik Mudda is the chief executive and founder of Ethereal Machines, the company behind this hybrid manufacturing machine capable of both additive and subtractive manufacturing. via Tumblr Meet Ethereal Machine Halo, a hybrid 5D Printer for both additive and subtractive manufacturing Donhou Bicycles launches new steel DSS3 CX / Gravel bike that features 3D printed steel lug11/28/2017 Award-winning East London bike makers Donhou Bicycles have just unveiled a bold new custom build, and a fresh milestone in their manufacturing methods: the DSS3 CX/Gravel steel bike, launched just last week, features a gorgeous steel frame that effectively pushes cycling into the modern era. via Tumblr Donhou Bicycles launches new steel DSS3 CX / Gravel bike that features 3D printed steel lug |
