Columbia Engineers explore the benefits and drawbacks of 3D-printed food technology.
Inkjet nozzle plates are one of the most important components of inkjet print heads, as the quality of the nozzle plates directly determines the resulting printing performance of the whole system. This article introduces what an inkjet nozzle plate is, how this important component works, and how it is manufactured.
To get the most out of your FDM parts, you’ll need to apply some finishing touches. This can involve support removal, sanding, vapor smoothing, and other steps.
The beauty of additive manufacturing is in the flexibility these technologies provide in terms of scale, shape, and materials. Building know-how on software has allowed Caracol to leverage these skills and adapt them to working with robotics for LFAM on different processes - from its proprietary thermoplastic/composite pellet extrusion Heron AM to introducing Metal with WAAM.
Researchers at ETH Zurich, Empa and EPFL are developing a 3D-printed insole with integrated sensors that allows the pressure of the sole to be measured in the shoe and thus during any activity. This helps athletes or patients to determine performance and therapy progress.

In 3D printing, achieving consistent and high-quality prints requires more than just a good printer and filament. Calibration and quality control are essential components that can make or break your 3D printing experience.
Senbiosys, an EPFL spin-off, has unveiled a jewelry-like smart ring that incorporates all the health-monitoring features currently available in smart watches. The company’s notable achievement in miniaturization – made possible thanks to the world’s smallest sensor, developed at EPFL – appears to have major market potential, as its recent crowdfunding campaign raised five times more capital than expected.
