The heart is a simple organ. It is a muscle that functions as a pump. However, it isn’t easy or cheap to replicate using synthetic materials. For example, to manufacture an artificial heart, the cost can be anywhere from £100,000 to £300,000 (and sometimes more). The biggest cost is manufacturing

When Markforged launched the Mark X, they set out to improve print consistency by reducing the risk of first-layer failure with a pre-print bed scan. This feature checks the level of the print bed, before any filament gets extruded, to ensure that the first layer has a flat bed to be

Do you know what we love? Robot Wars, and BattleBots. In these competitions, where manmade, remote-controlled combat robots go head-to-head, titanium, galvanized steel, aluminium and speed rule. Quite simply, if you don’t have a tough, hard-as-nails robot, then you’re going to get skinned. Ordinarily, 3D printing would not be a

One of the main advantages to stereolithography (SLA) over Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF) is the accuracy that parts can be printed to. SLA 3D printers, such as the Formlabs Form 2, can reproduce finer details than similarly priced FFF 3D printers which makes them ideal for creating true-to-design concepts. The

Back in October last year, Formlabs announced three new engineering resins for the Form 2: High-Temp, Tough and Durable. At the time, it was announced that Durable Resin would be available to purchase from January 2017 and Formlabs stuck to their word, announcing availability on January 31st. Formlabs published a useful

3D printing (additive manufacturing) is one of the most exciting technologies a school can incorporate into their design and technology or physical sciences curriculums. Universities now include 3D printing in several engineering courses, so it makes sense to introduce this technology to students during high school to provide an introduction
