Tabetha Noel-Ratcliff, a 15-year-old at Northwest High School in Texas, wanted to pursue her passion of playing the mellophone in the school’s marching band. She was born with symbrachydactyly, a rare congenital hand condition. Noel-Ratcliff has full control over her right arm, but her hand and fingers are not fully developed, which makes it difficult […]

As far as mass production methods go, sand casting is one of the oldest. 3D printing is one of the newest. Dutch design and engineering consultancy Arup has figured out how to combine the two, allowing one to enjoy both the low cost of the former and the physical complexity

These 20 x 20 x 20 mm aluminium blocks are prototypes for the next generation of 3D-printed lattice structures some of which are already used in the automotive and aerospace industries. Made using a process called 'selective laser melting' these structures are strong and stiff but light. That's good for a lot of things: fuel efficiency for example increases when vehicle parts are lighter. It's the hollow patterns that make them so effective. "You can align patterns to create strength in…
