This is SAW (Single Actuator Wave-Like Robot). Dr. David Zarrouk designed and tested this innovative 3D printed robot at Ben-Gurion University in Israel. The SAW uses a wave-like motion to propel itself over rough terrain, swim through water, and even climb up vertical walls. The SAW could be used as a reconnaissance vehicle, an inspection […]
I’m always talking about 3D printing as the future of prototyping and manufacturing but what about medical 3D Printing? Medical 3D printing begun with devices such as hearing aids and arm prosthesis. Now we count on 3D printed models for study in surgical cases and 3D printed bone replacements. Another example is the case that […]
Today I’m going to show you some different uses of 3d printing in science. Well, 3D printing isn’t only to print the Eiffel Tower. Print organs and bones Organs – 3d printing in science The first time that I heard about 3D-printers was in 2014, when the maker movement became mainstream in Brazil and more articles and posts about […]
Printing human tissue A study published yesterday on the British magazine Nature Biotechnology, says that American scientists implemented, with success, living tissues in animals, fabricated with an improved and advanced 3d-printer is a big step in the reseach of printing human tissue. This research, develop by the Wake Forest Institute for Regenerative Medicine, on North […]
