3D printing brings design to life after four decades.

Craig Warlen M.D. ’26 relied on his engineering background – and generosity from a foundation – to enhance a resource used in ...

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. — Engineers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have designed pliable 3D-printed mesh materials for medical applications such as knee and ankle braces. The flexibility and ...

[Stefan] from CNC Kitchen explored an unusual approach to a multi-material print by making custom PLA filament with a TPU core to make it super-tough. TPU is a flexible filament whereas PLA is hard ...

Of all FDM filament types, flexible ones such as TPU invite a whole new way of thinking, as well as applications. Case in point the TPU-based bellows that the [Functional Part Friday] channel on ...

Possible to specify strip length, bend angle, and one of four motion configurations (straight, bent, coiled, or twisted) ...

3D printing with thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) is reshaping how manufacturers approach complex designs and low-volume production. Unlike traditional injection molding, which relies on costly molds ...

The use of 3D printing to fabricate patient-specific implants has made great strides over the years, but surgical guides and pre-operative models continue to be the most widespread application of 3D ...

Roughly 13% of all 3D printing revenue comes from the medical industry. From prosthetics to surgical guides, there are a surprising number of medical applications for additive manufacturing technology ...
