A new 3D-printing ink, inspired by the color-shifting capabilities of chameleons, has been developed by scientists, offering the ability to change colors within a single print job. This innovative ink ...

As a "boutique printer," Color Ink in Sussex, Wisconsin, aims to help its customers stand out with customized, high-impact solutions. Todd Meissner, president of the company, explains it ventured into ...

While the 3D bioprinting of tissue and organs does hold great promise in the field of medicine, the printed materials typically have quite a short shelf life. An experimental new bio-ink, however, ...

Most methods for manufacturing 3D printer ink involve the addition of various materials to provide strength and structure to the ink. According to new research from Nanyang Technological University, ...

3D printing has already been put to use in many interesting applications, from large-scale homebuilding to robot hands that are good at Super Mario Bros.—and even creepy materials that can shape-shift ...

Researchers developed a fully recyclable, lignin-based 3D printing ink that solidifies without heat, stays stable up to 200 C, and can be reused via simple rehydration. Additive manufacturing (AM) ...

Specialty chemicals group Altana is expanding its already launched Cubic Ink® 3D printing material families with new high-performance resins. The two new resin-based Cubic Ink® 3D printing material ...

As 3D-printed electrical circuits become more widely produced, the problem of electronic waste could correspondingly get worse. That's why Swiss scientists have developed a new natural-source "e-ink" ...

Scientists have found a way to use sunflower pollen to develop a 3D printing ink material that could be used to fabricate parts useful for tissue engineering, toxicity testing and drug delivery.

Novel research has synthesized 3D-printable composite inks by incorporating nano-clay and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in epoxy. The addition of two-dimensional nanomaterials such as CNTs enables ...

Researchers at the Helmholtz-Zentrum Hereon recently introduced a fully recyclable ink for 3D printing that is made from the abundant industrial byproduct lignin. This ink, presented in a paper ...
