    Furnishings made from grass, stage set from wood dust: new high-tech 3D printer for the local circular economy

    Sustainable workpieces have been produced from renewable raw materials or local waste materials in the SAMSax real-world laboratory at TU Bergakademie Freiberg since 2022. An innovative binder jetting printer is now taking the technology known as 3D printing to a new level: up to eight print heads, each with over 1000 nozzles and up to…

  • Printing with earth materials

    Printing with earth materials

    ETH researchers have developed a fast, robot-assisted printing process for earth materials that does not require cement. Zurich, September, 10th 2024.Entire houses can be built from clay or earth. The material is cheap, available almost everywhere and sustainable in construction because it does not require cement. However, conventional construction methods are very labour-intensive, slow and…

    Reinforcement for the knee 3D bioprinting with the body’s own cartilage cells

    August, 22nd, 2024 Sports activities can lead to injuries, often to the cartilage in the joints, if the strain is incorrect. Untreated cartilage defects can lead to osteoarthritis in old age, for which there is currently no effective treatment. Personalised cartilage cell implants from the 3D printer should provide a remedy in future. Special printing…
