In order to fully take advantage of working with a biodegradable material, and the ethos of reducing, reusing and recycling, a team from Barcelona’s IAAC investigated how to incorporate food-waste, including orange peels, shrimp peels and used ground coffee into, bio-plastic. Food-waste is generally perceived as unwanted matter, unless used for compost. The team, made up of senior […]
+LAB’s Smart Fiber Composites open new perspectives for advanced materials and processes +LAB is the 3D Printing Lab of Politecnico di Milano located at “Giulio Natta” Department of Chemistry, Materials and Chemical Engineering. The laboratory is active since 2013 when the Professor Marinella Levi and her collaborators started to employ engineers, chemists, designers and architects […]

CELLINK, the young Swedish startup that is rapidly becoming a leader in desktop bioprinting, released two new bioinks that scientists can utilize to take the bioprinting of human tissues and organs to the next level. The first of these, CELLINK A, is made out of ultrapure alginate and is one of the new bioinks that many of […]
Under the Leadership of Professor Ferdinando Auricchio of the Computational Mechanics and Advanced Materials Group, 3D printing is now playing a major role in the activities that the University of Pavia, one of the oldest and most important in Italy, considers strategic for its students curricula. The new 3D printing center is going gorw in […]
Questo è uno di quegli articoli facili da scrivere perché ha in sé molti degli elementi per cui la stampa 3D ci appassiona così tanto: la possibilità di aiutare i bambini in difficoltà, l’idea di un vero cambiamento nella produzione, una nuova avventura per un team di esperti che vedono nella stampa 3D un modo per far […]
A volte ci si dimentica che prima che la rivoluzione della stampa 3D arrivi a compimento, un altro grande cambiamento avrà già avuto luogo, cioè l’avvento dell’ubiquitous computing e dell’Internet delle Cose (IoT – Internet of Things). La stampa 3D sarà parte integrante di questo movimento permettendo la creazione di dispositivi in miniatura in grado di supportare […]
