A Michigan 3D printing lab is recreating the fingers of a murder victim for police in a bid to try and catch his killer.





Cops hope to be able to use the 3D fingers to unlock the victim's phone which they believe holds clues to the identity of the murderer.

Professor Anil Jain, who runs the lab at the Michigan State University, has used a set of booking fingerprints the police took from the victim during an unrelated arrest, Fusion reports

With those as a blueprint, both he and his PhD student Sunpreet Arora, have been able to create 3D fingers which Michigan police can use to bypass the bio-metric lock on the dead man's smartphone.

'We don't know which finger the suspect used,' he told me by phone. 'We think it's going to be the thumb or index finger - that's what most people use - but we have all ten.'

Apis Cor unveiled a 400-square-foot house in a town outside of Moscow, Russia that was constructed using a mobile 3D printer.

The technology printed the walls, partitions and building envelope from a concrete mix - the entire project was done in a single day and amounted to $10,134.

Apis Cor, in collaboration with PIK, a Russian developer, printed the home using a massive mobile 3D printer.

'Design of the single-story residential house is rather unusual,' Apis Cors stated in a blog post.

3d printed glass

The new technique, devised by Bastian Rapp and colleagues from the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology in Germany, could lead to the development of more sophisticated lenses and filters.

Objects printed in 3D are normally made from polymers.

But glass makes for an excellent printing material because it has unique optical and physical properties, the researchers said.

The technique requires a fine glass powder suspended in a liquid, and a standard 3D printer.

Fine details are usually etched onto glass with acid but now they can be 3D printed - creating tiny works of art.



Heating the printed object in an oven heated to 1,300°C (2,300°F) burns away any excess material - leaving behind tiny glass particles which melt together.

According to the paper, which is published in Nature, the precision is only limited by the accuracy of the printer.


A microfluidic Tesla mixer cascade chip was created by the new printing technique. These structures are smooth and transparent with features as small as a few tens of micrometres

Synthetic muscle that can lift a thousand times its own weight.


The 3D-printable synthetic soft muscle doesn't need an external compressor or high voltage equipment as previous models did.

The artificial muscle can push, pull, bend and twist, as well as lift weight

A team of engineers at Columbia University says up until now no material has been capable of functioning as a soft muscle.

This is due to an inability to show the desired properties of high stress and strain.

Inspired by living organisms, team leader Professor Hod Lipson said soft material robotics hold 'great promise' for areas where robots need to contact and interact with humans, such as manufacturing and healthcare.

He said that, unlike rigid robots, soft robots can replicate natural motion, grasping and manipulation, to provide medical and other types of assistance, perform delicate tasks, or pick up soft objects.




To achieve an actuator with high strain and high stress coupled with low density, study lead author Aslan Miriyev used a silicone rubber matrix with ethanol distributed throughout in micro-bubbles. The solution combined the elastic properties and extreme volume change attributes of other material systems, while also being easy to fabricate, low cost, and made of environmentally safe materials.

After being 3D-printed into the desired shape, the artificial muscle was electrically actuated using a thin resistive wire and eight volt low-power.

It was tested in a range of robotic applications where it showed significant expansion-contraction ability.



It was capable of expansion up to 900 per cent when electrically heated to 80°C (176°F).

Via computer controls, the autonomous unit is capable of performing motion tasks in almost any design.

3D-printed 'living tattoos'




The method uses ink made from genetically programmed living cells, which can light up in response to different stimuli.

The temporary tattoos can twist and stretch with the natural movements of the body, and could one day allow for wearables that sense potential hazards.





‘Living tattoos’ could be used to detect environmental chemicals, for example, or changes in pH and temperature, the MIT researchers explain.

Each tattoo is a transparent patch lined with bacteria cells printed in the shape of a tree, with the branches made up of cells sensitive to different chemicals or compounds.

Once exposed to the associated chemical, that branch will light up.
