Engineers have turned one of nature’s most reviled body parts into a precision tool, using the hollow feeding tubes of dead ...

Researchers repurpose a mosquito’s proboscis for 3D necroprinting, offering a lower-cost and biodegradable alternative to ...

Mosquitoes live almost everywhere on Earth and are easy to rear. The team estimates that organic 3D printing nozzles made from mosquito proboscises should cost around 80 cents; the glass and metal ...

A new method 3D-prints large and complex parts more cheaply than current methods. “We have more tests to run to understand the strength and geometric potential of the parts we can make, but as long as ...

NASA used 3D printing to create a rocket nozzle for deep space missions. It is part of the space agency’s Reactive Additive Manufacturing for the Fourth Industrial Revolution (RAMFIRE). The RAMFIRE ...

3D printing enthusiasts searching for the best 3D printing nozzles may be interested in a new Kickstarter campaign for the DiamondBack nozzle range. The Polycrystalline Diamond (PCD) used in every ...

Why settle for drawing in just two dimensions when you could be sketching full 3D models of anything you can dream up? If you can’t think of a good answer to that question, you might be interested to ...

If you have a 3D printer, your nozzle and heater block are invariably covered in a weird goo consisting of decomposed and burnt plastic. There’s only one way around this – a nozzle sock, or a silicone ...

[Lost in Tech] set out to examine a variety of 3D printing nozzles. Before he got there, though, he found some issues. In particular, he found that his current crop of printers don’t take the standard ...

Imagine having the ability to digitally print the impossible with sub-micrometer precision, on any material and at scale. A spin-off out of ETH Zurich has done just that. Walter Braun, chief operating ...

A research team from McGill University and Drexel University has transformed female mosquito feeding tubes into ...
