The Facebook post that launched a thousand shields (and counting)
Cambridge researchers are supporting a project to 3D-print face shields and face masks in Malawi. The work is helping them create a 'blueprint' for using digital fabrication technologies in future...
View Article3D-printed ‘invisible’ fibres can sense breath, sound, and biological cells
Researchers from the University of Cambridge used 3D printing, also known as additive manufacturing, techniques to make electronic fibres, each 100 times thinner than a human hair, creating sensors...

The 3D-printed structure – a type of retaining wall known as a headwall – has been installed on the A30 in Cornwall, where it is providing real-time information thanks to Cambridge-designed sensors...
View ArticleUsing lasers to ‘heat and beat’ 3D-printed steel could help reduce costs
The method, developed by a research team led by the University of Cambridge, allows structural modifications to be ‘programmed’ into metal alloys during 3D printing, fine-tuning their properties...
