A Tiny Letterpress Printer Made By a 3D Printer
The letterpress was a huge leap forward for mass communication when Johannes Gutenberg perfected the moveable type machine way back in the 1450s. These days, it's considered a specialty craft. But this tiny letterpress is thoroughly modern: It's assembled with parts printed on a standard 3D printer. Whoa.
3-D printing offers promise for custom stents with perfect fits
George Cheng holds in his hand a highly unusual piece of medical equipment: an airway stent, meant to hold open the trachea of a patient who is having trouble breathing. But unlike mass-produced stents, Cheng made this stent using a 3D printer so it perfectly fits the interior contours of a particular patient’s airway. “We’ll make a device that’s just for you,” said Cheng, a research fellow at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center. “I think this is going to be the next revolution.”…
This Time, 3D Printer Makers Think They Found a Sweet Spot
