A new 3D printing method, called Crystallinity Regulation in Additive Fabrication of Thermoplastics (CRAFT), ...

The CRAFT method uses widely available materials and inexpensive commercial 3D printers.

Using an affordable 3D printer and the CRAFT method, researchers created a model human hand from a single feedstock with ...

Anyone who has recovered from a broken bone knows these nifty appendages have a remarkable ability to repair themselves. But even bones have limits. In cases of severe fractures or defects caused by ...

Medical researchers have developed a way to use 3D printers to help create new bone mass. Using "bone-bridges", surgeons can implant a printed piece into a patient, which allows new bone to grow ...

Doctors shared the challenges of helping their young patients with osteosarcoma, a type of bone cancer, with Anamika Prasad. In the majority of cases, treatment requires a highly complicated surgery ...

During a complicated bone surgery, every second matters. The longer a wound is open, the more likely it is to become infected and injured. Now picture this: Surgeons can now print a new piece of bone ...

Researchers from UNSW Canberra have developed a new 3D-printed implant that could change how fractures and bone injuries are treated.

The cranial bone in the human body performs very important functions, such as protecting the brain and enabling the passage of the cranial nerves that are essential to physiological functioning.

University of Texas at Dallas mechanical engineers have designed a 3D-printed femur that could help doctors prepare for surgeries to repair bones and develop treatments for bone tumors. The engineers, ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Millions suffer from bone defects worldwide, caused by disease, injury or age-related conditions. Traditional treatment options include bone grafting, where bone tissue is ...

Researchers have developed a new method for 3D printing objects with very different properties, including levels of hardness ...
