SCG has completed a 3D printed pedestrian bridge spanning Bangkok’s historic Ong Ang Canal, marking one of Thailand’s first uses of large-scale digital fabrication for public infrastructure. The project, finished in 2025 under the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration’s canal revitalization program, combines architectural innovation with local cultural references and sustainability-focused materials research.
In pharmaceutical manufacturing, tablets have long been produced through standardized processes that leave little room for fine-tuning how a drug behaves once ingested. Chinese pharmaceutical technology company Triastek is challenging that model. By applying 3D printing to drug product development and manufacturing, the company is introducing a more controlled and predictable way to engineer oral medications.
MakeGood, a nonprofit focused on disability design, has unveiled the 3D Printed Toddler Mobility Trainer, an affordable, open-source device that helps children with mobility challenges develop independence, coordination, and social skills.
Italian studio Essesi Design Studio has developed Nimble, a conceptual modular prosthetic fin designed to help amputees swim more effectively. The attachable device replaces a missing foot and lower leg, combining a lightweight carbon-fiber shell with a 3D printed flexible rubber lattice that generates thrust while reducing stress on the residual limb.
Austrian medical training and innovation firms Addion and Eyecer.at have begun using 3D printer OEM Stratasys’ Digital Anatomy Solution to create 3D printed anatomical eye models for training in eyelid surgery.
From movie-accurate props to stylized art toys, Zootopia fans have taken 3D printing to a new level ...
MiCoB, a pioneer in sustainable and rapid 3D concrete printing (3DCP) technology, has successfully delivered more than 500 impact- and blast-resistant 3D printed bunkers to the Indian Army.
According to Oregon State University (OSU), researchers have developed a quick-setting, environmentally friendly alternative to concrete they hope can one day be used to rapidly 3D print homes and infrastructure. The new clay-based material developed by Devin Roach, Nicolas Gonsalves, and collaborators at Oregon State cures as it’s being extruded from the printer, thanks to its acrylamide-based binding agent, which undergoes a chemical reaction known as frontal polymerization. The material can even be printed across unsupported gaps, such as the top edge of an opening for a door or window.
A research team at Missouri University of Science and Technology has developed a light-driven 3D printing technique designed to streamline the creation of organs-on-a-chip—tiny tissue-like devices used for drug testing and medical research.
