As useful a material as leather is, it isn’t too environmentally friendly. Now, engineers at Tufts University have created a new leather-like material out of silk, which can be 3D printed into ...

Researchers from Osaka University have mechanically reprocessed silk into a biologically compatible component of bioinks that improves the structural fidelity of 3D-printed hydrogels containing cells ...

Dr David Gregory shares his insights on working with Diamond Light Source, a world-class synchrotron facility. David was able to use their specialist equipment to look at 3D-printed silk-based ...

The unique capabilities of 3D printing have demonstrated value in a range of healthcare applications ranging from tablet manufacture to tissue engineering and implant construction.

A team of researchers at ETH Zurich in Switzerland has now taken inspiration from how lightweight and tough biological materials, like spider silk, bone and wood, naturally form, to 3D print ...

Small, 3D-printed devices, designed to be implanted directly under the skin, could allow people with type 1 diabetes to ...

Conventional textiles made of woven threads are highly useful materials. [Sara Alvarez] has had some success creating fabric-like materials through 3D printing, and though they’re not identic… ...

This pavilion was 3D-printed by 6,500 silkworms We expect MIT researchers to be innovators in 3D printing. We do not necessarily expect the same of caterpillars.

3D printing is transforming the textile industry by reducing resource use and waste, enabling innovative fabric designs and sustainable production methods.

The most common use for silk-screen printing is with clothing, especially T-shirts. However, silk-screen printing equipment can be used for printing logos and images on a variety of products such ...
