#Micron3dp Announces Breakthrough in 3d printing of Liquid, Hot Glass Israel Micron3dp has announced a breakthrough in glass 3d printing.
Micron3dp has succeeded in printing oftglass at a temperature of 850 degrees Celsius, as well as borosilicate glass at a melting temperature of 1640 degrees Celsius.
Eran Gal-Or, R&d manager of Micron3dp, explained, icron3dp made a successful 3d printing test, and although efforts have been made in the past by other companies to print with this medium,
this is the first time that glass has been printed in liquid hot form and Micron has accomplished it by means of its innovative way of 3d printing in an extremely hot extruder.
This new method once perfected, may open the door to a variety of new 3d printing applications within the art industry, medicine, aerospace, security, architecture, and more.
Micron3dp is reportedly seeking investors who are interested in helping them further the technology involved within these new processes w

New 3d printers Could Build Implants Electronics Several new 3d printers showcased at CES 2015 in Las vegas earlier this month suggest that the 3d printing industry best known for churning out brightly colored plastic doodads could be turning over a new
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.
Another printer uses a combination of conductive inks and filaments to print quadcopters already embedded with the electronics that allow them to hover in the air.
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
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.
and MC-2 printers were both on display at CES. The machines use a process known as stereolithography (SLA), in
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.
But OWL's machines are advanced more than these printers, according to Liverman, who said that his company's machines print objects that are 200 times more accurate,
than objects created with other SLA printers. OWL is currently using its super-accurate printers to bring complex ideas to life.
For example, cancer researchers who want to deliver localized treatments to patients are using OWL's machines to build what Liverman called"microfluidic devices."
"You can inject stem cells into the scaffold that you build with the printer and then you can,
"7 Cool Uses of 3d printing in Medicine During cartilage replacement surgery, the scaffold containing the stem cells would be implanted in the knee,
not just in the lab. Printable electronics OWL wasn't the only progressive 3d printing company hawking its wears at CES.
The company's 3d printers have two extruders one that prints in conventional plastic filaments and another that squirts out highly conductive ink."
"Coming off the printer is not just a plastic shape but a fully functioning electronic device,"said Voxel8 cofounder Daniel Oliver.
The printer then used conductive ink (which takes the place of wires) on top of the plastic, connecting these electrical components.
Voxel8's printer is designed to do more than just print tiny drones. The company will also be releasing new printing materials in order to try its hand at printing resistors, sensors and, for future models of its printer, even lithium-ion batteries.
These objects are in addition to the custom circuit boards that Voxel8's printers have perfected already.""We're talking about printing out a circuit at your desk in less than 30 minutes,
"Oliver said. This represents a vast improvement over earlier options for printing custom circuit boards, a process that,
Oliver said, traditionally could take up to a month to complete. Engineers and developers will not only be able to realize their designs much quicker with a Voxel8 printer,
they'll also be able to try out unconventional geometries for their electronics, Oliver said. For example, rather than trying to get a rectangular circuit board to fit inside a curved object,
it will now be possible to customize the shape of a circuit so that it fits inside objects of any shape or size."
"There's a trend to try to get 3d printing to create more useful things, "Oliver told Live Science."
"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,
the researchers said. Still, Rogers emphasized the team's new strategy is complementary to 3d printing,
and is not an attempt to replace that technique. The scientists are currently using this pop-up assembly strategy to build electronic scaffolds that can monitor
#Scientists 3d Print Bone Tissue With Live Cells and Pre-Loaded Proteins Printing bone tissue sounds like a great idea,
but 3d printers typically use heat to melt layers together, which means that incorporating cells during the printing process is nearly impossible.

#3d printing of metal with microscale droplets A team of researchers from the University of Twente has found a way to 3d print structures of copper and gold,
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.
Researchers from FOM and the University of Twente now made a major step towards high-resolution metal printing.

"This bridge will show how 3d printing finally enters the world of large-scale, functional objects and sustainable materials while allowing unprecedented freedom of form.
