3D Printing
-
Icon continues to develop its cutting-edge 3D-printed architecture tech from niche proposition to mainstream construction method with its latest project, a high-profile luxury housing development in Texas.

Over the past few years, we've heard how both custom-fit and 3D-printed bicycle saddles are comfier than their regular counterparts. Well, Italian bike-seat-maker fizik has now combined the two, with its One-to-One bespoke 3D-printed saddle service.

This impressive project proves that 3D-printed homes can be suitable for extreme weather and even seismic areas. Printed in just five days, it was also created significantly cheaper than a typical brick-and-mortar home.
-
There may be new hope for people suffering from debilitating, slow-healing rotator cuff injuries. Chinese scientists have created an implantable 3D-printed material that both restores shoulder motion and boosts the regrowth of torn tendons.
-
One of the big possibilities of 3D-printed architecture is that it could revolutionize affordable housing. Portugal's Havelar shows this may soon be within reach with its inaugural 3D-printed home, which took just 18 hours to print.
-
A new 3D construction printer from Icon can whip out two-story concrete buildings faster and cheaper than its previous Vulcan printer. It has already been used to build a 27-ft-high structure called Phoenix House, now on display in Austin, Texas.
-
Europe's largest 3D-printed building is a data center in Germany. Named the Wave House, the project harnesses the benefits of 3D printing tech to inject a sense of style into the unglamorous world of cloud-computing infrastructure.
-
A new type of 3D-printed lattice structure has surprised researchers with its strength and light weight. It uses two different lattice structures merged together to eliminate the weak points normally found in these complex shapes.
-
What's being hailed as the world's tallest 3D-printed building is being readied for assembly in a remote Swiss village. The White Tower from researchers at ETH Zurich will be formed from over a hundred columns, with a performance space sat on top.
-
Wilson's Airless 3D-printed basketball prototype was an off-court highlight of last year's NBA All-Star Weekend. It wasn't clear then what future the ball had, but now Wilson has launched it as a limited edition. A very expensive limited edition.
-
Researchers at TU Wien have developed a new way to grow cartilage from stem cells and guide it into basically any shape required. The breakthrough could lead to better ways to patch up injuries.
-
Researchers have used a novel technique to 3D print brain tissue whose cells developed into functional neurons that communicated with each other in a matter of weeks. The approach could be used to study the healthy and unhealthy brain or test drugs.
