Martian Colony Could Be 3D Printed With The New Technology Invented By Northwestern Engineers

Apr 18, 2017

A new method has used simulated Martian and lunar dust to 3D print flexible, tough rubber tools.The near lack of an atmosphere and weather on Mars does have some advantages, as does the highly reduced gravity compared to Earth. The 3D printed buildings will not need to withstand strong winds or gravitational pressure, which will add to the longevity of the infrastructure.

TAKE A DEEP BREATH: PATIENTS FIND RELIEF THROUGH 3D PRINTING

May 03, 2015

3D technology is nothing new to medicine. For years, physicians have utilized 'computerized tomography,' known as CT scans, to create three-dimensional images of the human body. But now, 3D technology is moving being diagnosis to actual treatment through the use of 3D printing. And for patients suffering from the rare condition, tracheobronchomalacia, 3D printers can mean the difference between life and death, or should I say, life and breath.
