#3d printed loudspeaker plays Obama speech The first 3d printed consumer electronic is a loudspeaker that comes out of the printer ready to use.
Lipson says he hopes this simple demonstration is just the ip of the iceberg. 3d printing technology could be moving from printing passive parts toward printing active integrated systems he adds.
Most printers cannot efficiently handle multiple materials. It s also difficult to find mutually compatible materialsâ##for example conductive copper
and plastic coming out of the same printer require different temperatures and curing times. In the case of the speaker Kiran used one of the lab s Fab@Homes a customizable research printer originally developed by Lipson
and former graduate student and lab member Evan Malone that allows scientists to tinker with different cartridges control software and other parameters.

#Ink-jet printing creates soft nanostructures A new way to make nanostructures combines advanced ink-jet printing technology with block copolymers that spontaneously form ultra-fine structures.
Recently developed ultra high-resolution ink jet printing techniques have some potential with demonstrated resolution down to 100-200 nanometers
Combining jet printing with self-assembling block copolymers enabled the engineers to attain the much higher resolution as suggested by lead author Serdar Onses a postdoctoral scientist at Illinois. Onses earned his doctorate at the University of Wisconsin
or spatially placed over a wafer. his invention to use ink-jet printing to deposit different block copolymer films with high spatial resolution over the substrate is highly enabling in terms of device design
or different templates in different regions. he advanced form of ink-jet printing the engineers use to locally deposit block copolymers is called electrohydrodynamic or e-jet printing.
It operates much like the ink jet-printers printers office workers use for printing on paper. he idea is flow of materials from small openings except e-jet is a special high-resolution version of ink jet-printers printers that can print features down
and other types of nanomaterials. he most interesting aspect of this work is the ability to combine top down techniques of jet printing with â##bottom upâ##processes of self-assembly in a way that opens up new capabilities

##The idea for the printer first came to Kayser a few months earlier. He wanted to find a project in which the sun did more than just power a device.
Markus Kayser s homebuilt 3-D printer created this glass bowl out of heated sand from the Sahara For the printer to work efficiently
the printer uses the concentrated beam of sunlight to slowly trace an object into the sandbox layer by layer.
The printer s motors the electronics, cameras and a laptop all run on batteries charged by the solar panels PRINTING Kayser first designs the object he wants to print in a CAD program.
His computer sends instructions to the printer, which works from the bottom up. After a layer has cooled into glass,
he adds more sand to the sandbox in the center of the machine and flattens it out,
and the printer begins heating the next layer. Kayser s first major piece, a bowl, took about four and a half hours to print.

and the full-color IRIS printer which was released in 2012. Both printers utilize a technology called Selective Deposition Lamination (SDL.
In SDL, standard sheets of paper, like you currently use with your desktop printer, are fed into the machine.
The initial sheet is bonded to the build plate, then the printer deposits an adhesive and follows by stacking another sheet of paper on top.
This occurs until the printer is ready to begin the actual cutting and printing of the object.
It begins to stack the paper using a process that selectively deposits a water-based adhesive to each individual sheet of paper,
there is an additional step involved where each piece of paper is colored using a modified 2-dimensional inkjet printer,
This allows for the printing of objects that can look extremely realistic. As you can imagine,

#3d printing may finally give artificial organs a blood supply Vascularized tissue constructed by printing cell-laden inks in a layered zigzag pattern.
Using a custom-built four-head 3-D printer and a isappearingink, materials scientist Jennifer Lewisand her team created a patch of tissue containing skin cells and biological structural material interwoven with blood-vessel-like structures.
The tissue is built by the 3-D printer in layers. A gelatin-based ink acts as extracellular matrixhe structural mix of proteins and other biological molecules that surrounds cells in the body.
All these inks are viscous enough to maintain their structure after being laid down by the printer.
and we think it going to be essential toward organ printing or regeneration, says Lewis, who is member of the Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering at Harvard university.
