3D-printed catamaran signals shift in boat manufacturing

V2 Group and Caracol AM have developed the first functional large-format 3D-printed monolithic catamaran, a six-meter vessel built with robotic 3D printing technology to advance the scalability of 3D-printed boats.

UW scientists develop compostable 3D printing material from coffee waste

Researchers at the University of Washington have developed a 3D printing technique that transforms coffee grounds and Reishi mushroom spores into a compostable alternative to plastic. 

Research: Deep-sea sponge inspires ultra-strong, flexible material

Researchers at RMIT University have developed a new material inspired by the deep-sea sponge Venus' flower basket, demonstrating compressive strength and stiffness that could advance architectural and product design.

New elastic hydrogel could overcome key challenges in 3D-printed organs

Researchers at Northeastern University and the University of Texas Arlington have developed a new elastic hydrogel material that could significantly advance the 3D printing of soft living tissues, potentially enabling the creation of artificial blood vessels and human organs.

Titomic expands to Huntsville with new advanced manufacturing facility

Titomic has announced the acquisition of a new property in Huntsville, Alabama, which the company stated will serve as its state-of-the-art manufacturing facility. 

Researchers use magnets to minimise flaws in 3D-printed parts

Researchers at University College London (UCL) and the University of Greenwich have demonstrated a new technique that could significantly enhance the quality of 3D-printed components for safety-critical applications, such as aircraft and Formula 1 racing cars.
