The term 3D bioprinting refers to the use of 3D printing technology to fabricate biomedical parts that, eventually, could be used to create replacement organs or other body parts as required. While we ...

URBANA, Ill. (WCIA) — U of I researchers are changing the way broken bones heal by 3D printing materials to make the recovery process faster. Shelly Zhang, an assistant civil and environmental ...

Eggshells, which are primarily composed of a form of calcium called calcium carbonate, are used in a wide range of applications – from a supplement in chicken feed to natural pest control for the ...

Anyone who has recovered from a broken bone knows these nifty appendages have a remarkable ability to repair themselves. But even bones have limits. In cases of severe fractures or defects caused by ...

Scientists from Cornell University, Purdue University and Case Western Reserve University have taken inspiration from bone to create more durable 3D printed structures. This could eventually make 3D ...

Calcium carbonate is an impressive material, in that it combines strength, light weight and porosity. Scientists have devised a new bacteria-based method of 3D-printing the substance, for uses such as ...

Scientists at Yokohama National University, Japan, have combined laser 3D printing technology and what they call “an alternate soaking process” to construct complex 3D structures that mimic bone ...
