Face it, we’ve all at some time or other looked at our hot glue guns, and thought “I wonder if I could use that for 3D printing!”. [Proper Printing] didn’t just think it, he’s made a working hot glue ...

Imagine a world where bone fractures can be healed in real time during surgery, with a device that prints living bone ...

Researchers created a special glue gun that can 3D print a bone-like substance for fracture repair during surgery and have tested it in early experiments. The prime motive of this innovation is to ...

In context: Several recent experiments have broadened the potential applications for 3D printing. Although most users wouldn't consider hot glue a viable building material, it has important ...

Given some biodegradable 3D printing filament and tasked with doing something creative with it, Vimal Patel built an extruder using Lego, attached it to a rather ordinary hot glue gun and ended up ...

If you have problems getting a 3D print to stick to the bed, you might consider using glue to — hopefully temporarily — attach the print to the bed. In addition, some plastics glue together well if ...

Tired of the same old, boring laminated pattern that’s in all of your 3D printed stuff? Industrial design student Vimal Patel was, and so he decided to fashion himself a 3D doodler, out of a hot glue ...

One of the biggest issues that plague the desktop 3D printing world is a pesky nuisance known as warping. Warping is due to Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene plastic (or or ABS as it's commonly known) ...

During a complicated bone surgery, every second matters. The longer a wound is open, the more likely it is to become infected ...
