In this episode, I redesign the interphalangeal joint for my biomimetic mechatronic hand using 3D printing. We dive into mechanical improvements, joint articulation, durability, and how the updated ...

Traditional synthetic joint prostheses can fail within 10 years. They are prone to loosening, fracture, and to causing infection, according to the chief of orthopaedics, Jinwu Wang, at the Shanghai ...

The tour began with a hairy leg prised open along the shinbone. A woman steadied this limb on a surgical table as a man repeatedly clanked a medical mallet near its foot. Neither were doctors; they ...

Building 3D printed parts with artificial intelligence (AI) can optimize the design process by generating complex geometries that are lightweight yet strong. This can be difficult to achieve manually.

Understanding the basic limitations of 3D printing will allow issues to be corrected before they are submitted for an analysis and a quote. While 3D printing has a reputation for offering an infinite ...
