CERN technology used to create first color X-ray 3D scan of a human 3D Scanning Sevices

Besides colliding hadrons to unravel the misteries of the Universe, CERN technology is at the heart of many things that have become widespread today, from CD’s to the Internet to the Cloud. They of course use 3D printers at CERN (although not subatomic ones) ad this time New Zealand based MARS Bioimaging used a CERN technology to produce a machine capable of creating the first color X-ray 3D scan of a human.

Peat-based construction material could be key to 3D printing affordable, eco-friendly homes Research & Education

A team of scientists from the University of Tartu and the Estonian University of Life Sciences have developed a new construction 3D printing material which has the potential to drastically decrease construction costs for private homes. The material, made from milled peat and oil shale ash, is not only low cost but could pose environmental benefits as well.
