[Thomas Sanladerer] wanted to make 3D prints using carbon fiber and was surprised that it was fairly inexpensive and worked well, although he mentions that the process is a bit intense. You can lea… ...

With support from the National Institutes of Health, a University of Texas at Arlington bioengineering professor is ...

After printing the desired structure – taking into account the fiber alignment – it was found that the cardiomyocytes (the cells responsible for carrying the contractile signal in the heart ...

McLaren is using Divergent's 3D printing technology to design certain parts for its new supercar inspired by Formula 1.

We've taken fidget spinners to the next level by making one out of carbon fiber! With our advanced 3D printing technology, we crafted a composite spinner that can withstand extreme speeds and impacts.

A 3D-Printed Heart Ventricle Beats Like the Real Thing A new fiber-infused ink aligns the synthetic cells in the ventricle and ensures that when they're electrically stimulated, they set off a rolling ...

In a review recently published in the journal Additive Manufacturing, researchers discussed the additive manufacturing (AM) of the high-density polymer composites reinforced with carbon fiber.

When she applied electrical stimulation to 3D-printed structures made with FIG ink, she found it triggered a coordinated wave of contractions in alignment with the direction of those fibers. In a ...

They discovered the fiber-infused gel (FIG) ink allows heart muscle cells printed in the shape of a ventricle to align and beat in coordination like a human heart chamber.

Over the last decade, advances in 3D printing have unlocked new possibilities for bioengineers to build heart tissues and structures. Their goals include creating better in vitro platforms for ...
