Mark Skylar-Scott and his team of bioengineers have developed a technique that allows them to 3D-print living heart tissue ... they take on the general shape of tissue that can then have blood ...

Commercial printers currently on the market can 3D print the shape, but use inks that are often too rigid to match the softness of real heart tissue. On the flip side, the specialized 3D printers ...

They’ve developed a new way to 3D print material that is at once elastic enough to withstand a heart’s persistent beating, tough enough to endure the crushing load placed on joints, and easily ...

But now, scientists have developed flat wooden shapes extruded by a 3D printer which ... The ultimate shape of the object can also be controlled by adjusting print speed, the team found.

To start, there is a big, flat bed of metal powder, and a laser carves out a shape ... in one print. When specialized machines print organs (such as a heart), multiple nozzles can be prefilled ...

The project, called TERA, is one of the latest experiments in 3D-printed houses ... spews a malleable material that hardens into the shape of a pipe fitting, a chair or an internal organ ...

Today, scientists will describe how flat wooden shapes extruded by a 3D printer can be programmed ... a dome or cone-like structure. The ultimate shape of the object can also be controlled by ...
