Mimicking nature’s cellular architectures via 3D printing (Computer Aided Manufacture)
Posted by: Site Administration
Nature does amazing things with limited design materials. Grass, for example, can support its own weight, resist strong wind loads, and recover after being compressed.

Additive manufacturing: 3D Printing Stretchable Electronics? (Computer Aided Manufacture)
Posted by: Site Administration
Electronic components that can be elongated or twisted -- known as "stretchable" electronics -- could soon be used to power electronic gadgets, the onboard systems of vehicles, medical devices and other products. And a 3-D printing-like approach to manufacturing may help make stretchable electronics more prevalent, say researchers at Missouri University of Science and Technology.

Myanmar farmers reap rewards from 3D printing (Computer Aided Manufacture)
Posted by: Site Administration
Whizzing across a blue-lit platform with a whirr and a squeak, liquid plastic emanating from its chrome tip, the 3D printer seems a far cry from the muddy, crop-filled fields that fringe Yangon.

Power consumption of factory robot joints could be 40% less, according to a laboratory study (Computer Aided Manufacture)
Posted by: Site Administration
Robots are being increasingly used in industrial processes because of their ability to carry out repetitive tasks in a precise, reliable way. Right now, digital controllers are used to drive the motors of the joints of these robots. And it is no easy task developing and programming these controllers so that they will work efficiently. Unai Ugalde-Olea, lecturer in the Department of Electronics Technology of the UPV/EHU, has analysed a way of propelling these systems or robots in a more energy-efficient way and has shown, on a laboratory level, that in some cases energy consumption can be cut by up to 40%. The study has been published in the journal Control Engineering Practice.

3D printing cancer cells to mimic tumours (Computer Aided Manufacture)
Posted by: Site Administration
A group of researchers in China and the US have successfully created a 3D model of a cancerous tumour using a 3D printer. The model, which consists of a scaffold of fibrous proteins coated in cervical cancer cells, has provided a realistic 3D representation of a tumours environment and could help in the discovery of new drugs and cast new light on how tumours develop, grow and spread throughout the body.
