Introduction: In a groundbreaking leap for 3D printing technology, a collaborative effort between MIT, Inkbit, and ETH Zurich has given birth to a cutting-edge 3D inkjet printing system. Unlike its traditional counterparts, this innovative system not only widens the scope of printable materials but also boasts an impressive speed advantage. […]

The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) has discovered a new plant-derived 3D printed material that might pave the way for future sustainable manufacturing processes.This material features a highly-reinforced brick-and-mortar structure, similar to that of a mollusc’s inner shell, and is created from a mix of synthetic plastic and cellulose nanocrystals […]
The MIT Self Assembly Lab’s liquid-in-liquid 3D printing technology got a lot of press attention and publicity when it was originally introduced. We were sceptical about it, to be honest. Then BMW began to experiment with it, demonstrating that Rapid Liquid Printing technology held a lot of promise for automotive […]
Scientists at MIT’s Microsystems Technology Laboratories (MTL) are hoping that custom printing their miniature 3D pumps on the spot instead of using mass production will lower production costs. What is it? So what is it? It is a small diaphragm-style pump about 1 cm in diameter. It costs approximately $3.72 […]
Researchers at MIT have developed a new technique of 3D printing living tattoo using a special ink made from genetically programmed living cells. The cells respond to different types of stimuli. They were then mixed with a slurry of hydrogel and nutrients to print them layer-by-layer. When embedded onto a […]

When I first heard of 4D printing, I thought someone was high and trolling me. How could anyone print in the 4th dimension of time? Despite my trepidation, I found that 4D printing is a very real concept. The idea of 4D is to design items so they can self-assemble […]
