Lately, there's been plenty of progress in 3D printing objects from the lunar regolith. We've reported on several projects ...

A DLP 3D printer works by shining light into a vat of photosensitive polymer using a Digital Light Processing projector, curing a thin layer of the goo until a solid part has been built up.

He also noted that 3D printing enables the creation of more ... melted or dissolved. As a result, most polymer foam cannot be recycled and ultimately ends up in landfills, Smaldone said.

At present, 3D printing is an increasingly widespread and ... To address these issues, polymer formation through light irradiation could be a promising solution, as photopolymerisation reactions ...

The global 3D printing market size valued at USD 29.29 billion in 2025 and is projected to exceed USD 134.58 billion by 2034, ...

and polyetherketoneketone (PEKK), are the main polymer types used across implant applications. The report also covers multiple case studies of 3D printing in medical settings. These include a hip ...

Merck and AMCM – part of the metal and polymer 3D printing specialist EOS group – are working on the development of a prototype tablet printer that they hope will be ready for testing later ...

"The goal of the project was to address some limitations in 3D printing in terms of making polymer foam," said Dr. Ron Smaldone, associate professor of chemistry and biochemistry in the School of ...
