Can hidden magnetic tags defeat counterfeit goods?
Techniques from metal additive manufacturing offer a new way to help combat counterfeit goods, such as national defense assets.
Team uses live plant cells in 3D printing
“Instead of 3D printing ink or plastic, we use ‘bioink,’ or living plant cells,” Lisa Van den Broeck explains.
Dust composite could be used to 3D print stuff on Mars
Simulated Mars dust and titanium alloy combine to make a 3D printed material that could one day become tools or rocket parts on Mars.

Method turns plastic into resin for 3D printing
A new method converts polylactic acid, used in tableware and food packaging, into a high-quality resin. The plastic can take up to 100 years to decompose.
Cheaper 3D printing uses little nozzles and a ‘slicer’
Multiplexed Fused Filament Fabrication (MF3) uses a single gantry to 3D print individual or multiple parts simultaneously.
Software cools 3D printing down to make better stuff faster
Software called SmartScan cuts a huge amount of heat from the 3D printing process. That means fewer warped parts in the end.
