And finally... World’s first 3D printed bridge opens - Scottish Construction Now! The first 3D-printed bridge in the world has been unveiled in a park in Madrid.
The pedestrian crossing was first installed in the urban park of Castilla La Mancha in Spain’s capital city in December last year and now it is ready to be walked on. The bridge, which is 12 metres long and 1.75 metres wide, was printed in micro-reinforced concrete at the Institute for Advanced Architecture of Catalonia in what was to date, the first example of printing being applied in the field of civil engineering. The bridge is also environmentally friendly because the production process that used ‘parametric design’, allowed the team to optimise the distribution of materials and minimize the amount of waste.
They were able to recycle the raw material during manufacture and dispose of by-product only where completely necessary. Make your own 3D-printed sonic tractor beam with Arduino. Make your own 3D-printed sonic tractor beam with Arduino Arduino Team — January 3rd, 2017 From magic to science, man has long dreamed about being able to manipulate objects from a distance.
People have been able to push something using air or even sound waves for a while, but University of Bristol researcher Asier Marzo and colleagues have come up with a 3D-printable device that can not only repel small items, but can also attract them to the source.

Martian rover made on 3d Printer (Mars rover) Forget the Bake Off - these are amazing 3D-printed cakes that even Paul Hollywood would approve of. These incredible geometric works of art might look too good to eat, but they are actually cakes - created using a 3D printer .
They've been created by a confectioner who has married her trade with the latest technology to creates eye-catching baked goods that even Paul Hollywood would approve of. Dinara Kasko says all of her designs are inspired by geometric shapes and are based on the principle of symmetry. And the 28-year-old baker has become a star, with one of her creations, which she calls Bubbles, recently adorning the cover of the influential So Good magazine of international confectionery art. The cake moulds which Ms Kasko uses to make her unusual desserts at home in Kharkiv, Ukraine, are now set to be mass produced by top Italian brand SiliKoMart. CEN/Dinara Kasko She explains the process: "To create a dessert, first of all I have to come up with an idea for the shape. "Then I simulate the shape in the Autodesk 3ds Max program and print it in silicone using the 3D printer.

HP Multi Jet Fusion technology powering the new HP Jet Fusion 3D Printers. The world’s largest Delta 3D printer creates nearly zero-cost homes out of mud. The future of affordable (and sustainable) housing may lie with 3D printing.
The World’s Advanced Saving Project (WASP) has unveiled the world’s largest delta-style 3D printer, which can build full-size buildings out of mud and clay for nearly zero cost. The massive BigDelta printer stands 12 meters tall (40 feet), and it's nearly completed its first house at a cost of just 48 euros so far. Italian innovator Massimo Moretti launched WASP with the goal to “create a means for affordable fabrication of homes, and provide these means to the locals in poverty stricken areas.”
WASP’s affordable housing solution combines 3D printing with biomimicry, drawing inspiration from the mud dauber wasp that constructs its home from one of the world’s oldest building materials: mud. This 3-D Printed Home Can Withstand an 8.0 Earthquake. Speed and customizability are highly sought-after qualities in today’s impatient world.
From gourmet foods to earthquake-proof houses, 3-D printing is foreshadowing a bright future filled with low-cost homes and rapid production processes. Recently, Beijing architecture firm HuaShang Tengda put the finishing touches on an indestructible mansion that it 3-D printed and manufactured in just 45 days, Digital Trends reports. The house has the capability to withstand an 8.0 earthquake, and while the architects don’t disclose its price on their website, they do mention its relatively “low cost” compared to homes built from more expensive materials on a longer timeline.
After developing new software to guide the manufacturing process, HuaShang has high hopes for the future of construction. With these new developments, HuaShang Tengda hopes to lay the foundation for the future of 3-D printing. Limited Time Offer. Eric Harrell 3D prints an amazing and functional mini Subaru flat-four engine.

NASA Catalog of 3D Printable Models Continues to Grow, Now Includes Easy to Assemble Model Kits. While NASA is primarily known as the United States civilian government agency that launches spacecraft, explores space and conducts research aboard the International Space Station, they actually wear quite a few different hats.
As part of their role in exploring the galaxy, NASA collects a tremendous amount of data that is often used to further scientific understanding and to help educate the general public and children about space. Over the years they have collected thousands of 3D models of everything from their own spacecraft, to asteroids, to nebulae and even topographical maps of other planets. This 3D-Printed Camera Can Fit in a Needle. The camera developed by a research team from the University of Stuttgart isn’t to be taken with a grain of salt — because it’s actually smaller than that.
Using 3D printing, a group of PhD students recently created optics small enough to fit inside of a syringe at just .12 millimeters wide. Current manufacturing techniques make it impossible to construct tiny lenses, the team said, but by using 3D printing, also known as additive manufacturing, the size possibilities change dramatically. The team, led by PhD students Timo Gissibl and Simon Thiele, said that the process of designing and manufacturing the tiny lens actually only took a few hours.
Related: Researchers discover the key to OLED efficiency with a firefly butt While getting one lens into a device that small seems like a feat in itself, the device actually encompasses three lenses and is attached to a five-foot optical fiber that’s only about twice as wide as a strand of hair.

Rutgers University Prints 3D Maps for the Blind. Located in New Brunswick, N.J., the Joseph Kohn Training Center offers the blind and visually impaired a chance to learn necessary skills for independence. From kitchen and communication skills to braille and mobility skills, attendees jump into an intensive training program that lasts 20 weeks. However, the building maps provided to program attendees, as described by Rutgers Univ., are “clunky, old wooden maps,” and the building has “few braille labels on walls.” Mechanical engineering student Jason Kim and Prof. Howon Lee, of the Dept. of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, are making strides to improve the maps offered to students via 3D printing. The idea was spawned from a trip Lee took to the Korea Institute of Technology. Architecture students developed a 3D-printing pen that "draws" incredible acrylic structures in mid-air. A group of students at the University of Tokyo created a 3D-printing pen to bring architectural designs to life in plastic.
Architect Kengo Kuma oversees the team that developed the technology, which they use to “draw” architectural structures in place. The student team feels their project serves as a tangible reminder of how important the human element still is within a world of digital design, even as machines continue to replace human roles. Other approaches to 3D-printed architecture typically involve a stationary platform on which the designs are constructed, but this handheld pen changes the game.
The pen 3D prints strings of thermoplastic filament, which are used to connect acrylic rods. The result is an ethereal structure unlike any 3D-printed contruct we’ve seen before, and it’s the largest one the team has built so far. 3D-printed wormbot "wolly2.1" - peristaltic movement. 3D Printed V8 Solenoid Engine: Another Intricately Engineered Project from Sgt.

This is the first object 3D-printed from alien metal. But today Planetary Resources is showing that it can do the last item on that list: building with metals not from Earth. VIDEO: Researchers can now 3D print extremely strong and temperature resilient ceramics. There's a reason they're used in everything from jet engines to Formula 1 race car brakes: Ceramics are tough. They can withstand an absurd amount of heat and pressure without warping or breaking, all while brushing off many of the physical and chemical assaults that would rust metals and wear away plastics. "The problem is that ceramics are just notoriously difficult to process," says Zak Eckel, an engineer at HRL Laboratories in Malibu, California.
