Texas A&M University has developed a new class of biomaterial inks that mimic native characteristics of highly conductive human tissue, which is needed for the ink used in 3D printing, or additive manufacturing. This also allows any researcher to build 3D bioprinters tailored to fit their own research needs.

A University of Washington team created a new tool that can design a 3D-printable passive gripper and calculate the best path to pick up an object. The team tested this system on a suite of 22 objects — including a 3D-printed bunny, a doorstop-shaped wedge, a tennis ball and a drill. Courtesy: University of Washington.
