Bridging the Gap: How Granular Elastomers Are Redefining 3D Printing Durability
For decades, the field of materials science has been haunted by a persistent trade-off: in the world of elastomers—rubbery, flexible materials—you could have high fracture toughness, or you could have high fatigue resistance, but rarely both. Materials…
Beyond the Mold: Concordia University’s Inverse 4D Printing Breakthrough Revolutionizes Composite Manufacturing
In a significant leap for material science and industrial manufacturing, researchers at the Concordia Centre for Composites have unveiled an innovative "inverse 4D printing" method. By leveraging the inherent anisotropic properties of carbon…
Bridging the Gap: Liqcreate Unveils Bio-Med Flex, a New Frontier for Biocompatible 3D Printing
The landscape of medical additive manufacturing has long been dominated by rigid, high-performance polymers. While these materials have revolutionized dental and surgical planning, a significant void remained for flexible, resilient, and biocompatible…
Closing the Loop: SDU’s Bold Bid to Revolutionize Metal 3D Printing with Industrial Waste
In a move that could redefine the economics of additive manufacturing (AM), Associate Professor Mohammad Malekan of the University of Southern Denmark (SDU) has secured a prestigious Sapere Aude Research Leader grant from the Independent Research Fund…
