Work on Roboy first began last year, in early 2013, when the University of Zurich’s Artificial Intelligence Lab set to work on the next generation of robots. Their goal was to build a robot that could more accurately replicate how the human body works. Continue reading “3D Printing Helps Create Roboy the Humanoid Robot”
Harvard Award for 3D Printed Battery
The printed electronics industry has given recognition to materials scientists at Harvard University for their work on novel 3D printed lithium-ion microbatteries — batteries no bigger than a grain of sand. The 3D printed microbatteries, which could supply electricity to tiny devices in fields from medicine to communications, received the Academic R&D Award last month at the IDTechEx Printed Electronics USA 2013 event in Santa Clara, California.

3D printing Event, one week dedicated to your profession!
Are you also lost in the 3D printing space?
3D Printing can be deployed in so many industries, from jewellery to human tissue, and from ceramics to electronics, that the professional doesn’t know where to start.
Stop being lost and find out what 3D printing can mean for your profession!
The 3rd edition of the international 3D printing Event will contain over 14 sessions during the week, each focused on a specific profession or an application field.
You can choose the topic of your profession/application field. In half-day you will learn what 3D printing means for your profession.
In each session issues like materials, designtools, business models, do’s and dont’s will be covered.
You will meet your colleagues with whom you can discuss what has been presented, and what that means for your profession/business.
The following sessions are being organized:
- Interior Design
