In context: Several recent experiments have broadened the potential applications for 3D printing. Although most users wouldn't consider hot glue a viable building material, it has important ...

Face it, we’ve all at some time or other looked at our hot glue guns, and thought “I wonder if I could use that for 3D printing!”. [Proper Printing] didn’t just think it, he’s made a working hot glue ...

Imagine a world where bone fractures can be healed in real time during surgery, with a device that prints living bone directly onto the fracture site. This is no longer a mere concept, but a reality, ...

A research team at Sungkyunkwan University (SKKU) has developed a new bone graft technique that utilizes a modified glue gun and sticks composed of a bone mineral and biodegradable composite. When ...

Researchers created a special glue gun that can 3D print a bone-like substance for fracture repair during surgery and have tested it in early experiments. The prime motive of this innovation is to ...

Scientists have developed a tool made from a modified glue gun that can 3D print bone grafts directly onto fractures and defects during surgery. Historically, bone implants have been made of metal, ...

Manufacturing could be dramatically changed thanks to two new techniques for joining materials created by scientists in Austria. The two methods create super strong bonds at the pore level, ...

[Daniel Roibert] found a way to add cheap strain relief to JST-XH connectors, better known to hobby aircraft folks as the charging and balance connectors on lithium-polymer battery packs. His solution ...

Anyone who has considered purchasing a 3D printing pen that has a spare glue gun and some Lego may be interested in a new DIY 3D printing pen that has been created by Vimal Patel. The awesome 3D ...

During a complicated bone surgery, every second matters. The longer a wound is open, the more likely it is to become infected and injured. Now picture this: Surgeons can now print a new piece of bone ...
