Researchers at Brigham Young University have demonstrated the ability to create microfluidic lab-on-a-chip devices with channels and valves smaller than ever before. Using a new 3D printing technique, ...

Whether you're an athlete or someone experiencing foot pain, it's important to eliminate high-pressure areas in the soles of your shoes. An experimental insole could help, by showing where such areas ...

Researchers are developing a 3D-printed insole with integrated sensors that allows the pressure of the sole to be measured in the shoe and thus during any activity. This helps athletes or patients to ...

Researchers are targeting the next generation of soft actuators and robots with an elastomer-based ink for 3D printing objects with locally changing mechanical properties, eliminating the need for ...

Using laser-or electron beam-based additive technology is not unique in medical manufacturing, said Stephan Zeidler, business development manager, medical sector, GE Additive, in an interview with ...

Using a new 3D printing process, University of Nottingham researchers have discovered how to tailor-make artificial body parts and other medical devices with built-in functionality that offers better ...

In elite sports, fractions of a second sometimes make the difference between victory and defeat. To optimize their performance, athletes use custom- made insoles. But people with musculoskeletal pain ...
