Not a toy, a toymaker The Origo makes small plastic objects using any sort of drawing (a ten-year-old's sketch is perfectly fine) as a guide. It has been designed with a bare minimum of moving parts and a ...

Emerging, 3D printing technology has seen applications in industries from fashions and auto parts to food and now perhaps the most surprising new use yet: artificial blood vessels. Generating soft tissues on a printer A team of researchers at Stuttgart's Fraunhofer Institute for Interfacial Engineering and Biotechnology has made breakthroughs in the generation of synthethic capillaries – the tiny and exremely ...
3D printing has been the subject of research and experimentation for years. Now it is moving from plastics, metal and ceramics into a new frontier: Food. Molecular gastronomy Dave Arnold of the French Culinary Institute and Jeffrey Lipton, a mechanical engineering PhD student, are working together at Cornell University's Creative Machines Lab to create the next revolutionary appliance you are going to ...
