A Dutch couple have moved into Europe’s first 3D-printed home – which developers claim can be built from scratch in just five days. Retired Elize Lutz, 70, and 67-year-old Harrie Dekkers’ new home in Eindhoven, in the Netherlands, is a 94-square metre two-bedroom bungalow that resembles a boulder with windows. Despite the curving lines of its grey concrete … Read more

A team of British engineers have developed a working electric vehicle from recycled 3D printed materials – and it can reach speeds of up to 45 miles per hour. The battery-powered Chameleon buggy, which weighs 150kg (23 stone), produces no emissions and is about a third the size of an average car – but only … Read more
A 3D-printed ‘fake turtle egg’ with a GPS tracker inside – placed in sea turtle nests on the beach – has helped conservationists expose the rampant illegal trade in eggs. Despite an international agreement banning the trade of sea turtle eggs, the trade is still going on, and it can be difficult to trace and … Read more
3D-printed implants that link human brains to computers and stimulate the spinal cord could be used to treat people with paralysis Researchers built a prototype of the brain chip and tested it on animals It was effective at detecting and relaying electrical signals from a computer Also functions correctly on surface of the brain, peripheral nerves … Read more
A 3D-printed ‘cage’ could spare hundreds of Britons disabled by agonising bone fractures from limb amputation. The new metal implant, available on the NHS, replaces bone in the shin and encourages new bone cells to fuse against it. Unlike traditional last-ditch attempts to save crumbling bones in the lower leg, which involve a brace attached … Read more
