Guide To The 3-D Printed Universe

 January 15, 2015 |  Javier |  News |  , ,

Megan Molteni, from Popular Science, has produced a graphical review of the present and upcoming 3D technologies. She include our efforts to bring sustainability to this technology with the development of 3D manufacturing with Shrilk, the bio-inspired material based on the components and structure of the arthropods outer skeleton, and invented in our lab.
