Researchers have developed a 3D bioprinter for cancer research that can be folded into a carry-on pack, transported, and easily reassembled for printing inside a biosafety cabinet. The technology can perform rapid and reproducible manufacture of complex tumouroids – 3D cell cultures which resemble tumour tissues – to test potential immunotherapy treatments.
In this episode we talk about how researchers at EPFL have developed a new method of 3D printing bone-like composites using bacteria-infused ink. The process involves the use of hydrogel as a printing medium that provides a scaffold for bacterial growth, which produces calcium carbonate crystals that mimic the properties of bone.
Overhangs represent one of the biggest challenges for FDM 3D printers. Here we look at how to safely print them using support structures, bridging, and other techniques.
To be able to fix the bike computer to the bike, a corresponding mount is necessary. The bike computer mounts currently available on the market are traditionally manufactured by injection molding – showing their limits when it comes to weight, functionality, design and manufacturing.

Columbia Engineers explore the benefits and drawbacks of 3D-printed food technology.
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.

From its Tuscan headquarters, footwear manufacturer Tre Zeta Group creates soles for classic shoes and sneakers using 3D printing centering jigs for its carding process. The team chose the BCN3D Epsilon W50 for its advantageous IDEX technology and material Tough PLA for its top-tier mechanical properties. Our partner CREA3D did an exploration with a camera in tow to see the benefits for themselves!
