#Wonder-ink could soon let you 3d print objects out of stretchy graphene A new 3d printing ink being developed at Northwestern University could soon make it possible to build objects
This unprecedentedly high graphene composition means that the oft-praised electric and mechanical properties of graphene might soon find their way into all kinds of macroscopic 3d printed creations, with important consequences for the electronics and biomedical fields (among many others.
While we've already seen 3d printers that can create objects out of carbon fiber, the ability to print objects made mainly out of graphene could raise the bar even higher for material scientists and hobbyists alike.
though this did not extend to 3d printing. Now, however, researcher Ramille Shah and team have built a 3d printing ink that is composed of graphene for 60 percent of volume and 75 percent of weight.

Amid the rough-edged replicas of superheroes and army tanks that adorned the expo's 3d printing space stood a machine that prints tiny medical implants that dissolve inside the human body.
One company displayed a prototype of a 3d printed medical device that can automatically stitch up patients after surgery.
3d printing isn't just for makers anymore. Increasingly, this trendy technology is turning into a must-have tool for doctors, researchers and engineers, according to Nick Liverman, CEO and founder of Old world Labs (OWL), a Virginia-based company that designs dissolvable 3d printed implants.
The 10 Weirdest Things Created By 3d printing"Most 3d printers are made to print what's already out there a model version of the Eiffel Tower or a chess set.
But you would use our printer to build things that aren't developed yet: theories, research.
"Liverman told Live Science. 3d printed implants OWL's MC-1 and MC-2 printers were both on display at CES.
This technique sets OWL's printers apart from other 3d printers on the market, such as Makerbot's Replicator or the Ultimaker 2, that use a process known as fused deposition modeling (FDM), not SLA.
Other 3d printers on the market also use stereolithography to build what Liverman calls"high-resolution"objects.

#Four Tech Breakthroughs at the Cutting edge of Light During these dark winter months, spare a thought for artificial lights.
"The scientists said their pop-up assembly technique has many advantages over 3d printers, which create 3d structures by depositing layers of material on top of one another.
Although 3d printers are increasingly popular, they work slowly. In addition, it is difficult for 3d printers to build objects using more than one material,
and it is nearly impossible for these printers to produce semiconductors or single crystalline metals,
Still, Rogers emphasized the team's new strategy is complementary to 3d printing, and is not an attempt to replace that technique.
but 3d printers typically use heat to melt layers together, which means that incorporating cells during the printing process is nearly impossible.

Their work is published in Advanced Materials 3d printing is a rapidly advancing field, that is sometimes referred to as the'new cornerstone of the manufacturing industry'.
'However, at present, 3d printing is limited mostly to plastics. If metals could be used for 3d printing as well, this would open a wide new range of possibilities.
Metals conduct electricity and heat very well, and they're very robust. Therefore, 3d printing in metals would allow manufacturing of entirely new devices and components,
such as small cooling elements or connections between stacked chips in smartphones. However, metals melt at a high temperature.
