It took less than 10 minutes to print.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"v2-processed\">Over and above traditional manufacturing processes, the technique allowed \u201cfor rapid manufacture with bespoke properties, thus each cornea could be made specifically for that patient at the point of care\u201d, Connon said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"v2-processed\">\u201cAlso as the cornea is composed of layers of

more traditional solutions.<\/p>\n<p class=\"v2-processed\">Next year in the city of Eindhoven, in the Netherlands, residents of the world\u2019s first commercial housing project, based on 3D-concrete

March \u2013 a vehicle the partners believe is the world\u2019s first mass-producible 3D-printed electric car.<\/p>\n<p class=\"v2-processed\">Polymaker said three crucial achievements made this possible.<\/p>\n<p class=\"v2-processed\">First, the number of components in the car has been reduced from more than 2,000 to only 57; the finished LSEV weighs only 450kg (about 0.44 tonnes, much less than similar sized vehicles, which usually weigh between 1 and 1.2 tonnes.<\/p>\n<div class=\"blockquote-quote v2-processed\">A new 3D-printed XEV design can be completed in three to 12 months, compared with three to five years for the conventional research and development process of a car model<\/div>\n<p class=\"v2-processed\">Second, apart from the chassis, seats and glass, all the visible parts of the car are made by Polymaker materials through 3D printing. This switch in production leads to a more than 70 per cent reduction in the investment cost compared with a traditional production system.<\/p>\n<p class=\"v2-processed\">Lastly, a new design XEV can be completed in three to 12 months, compared with three to five years for the conventional research and development process of a car model.<\/p>\n<p class=\"v2-processed\">XEV said it had already received 7,000 pre-orders, including 5,000 from Poste Italiane, the Italian postal service.<\/p>\n<p class=\"v2-processed\">Mass production is expected to start in the second quarter of 2019.<\/p>\n<h2>Even smarter objects in the home \u2026<\/h2>\n<figure style=\"width: 1320px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"caption lazyload-processed magic-processed loaded\" title=\"A University of Washington researcher with a scroll wheel created using 3D-printed plastic, which can wirelessly interact with Wi-fi-connected devices.

That\u2019s something that no one has been able to do before.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"v2-processed\">To 3D-print objects that can communicate with commercial Wi-fi receivers, the team employed backscatter techniques that allow devices to exchange information.<\/p>\n<p class=\"v2-processed\">Backscatter systems use an antenna to send data by reflecting radio signals emitted by a Wi-fi router or other device.<\/p>\n<p class=\"v2-processed\">Borrowing from principles that allow battery-free watches to keep time, the team replaced some functions normally performed by electrical components with parts that can be 3D printed.<\/p>\n<p class=\"v2-processed link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.scmp.com\/native\/lifestyle\/topics\/premier-living\/article\/2117246\/food-thought-3d-printers-future-make-our\">Food for thought: 3D printers of future to make our heart\u2019s desire<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"v2-processed\">Physical motion \u2013 such as laundry liquid flowing out of a bottle \u2013 triggers the communication process.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"v2-processed\">\u201cThe receiver can then track how much detergent you have left and when it dips below a certain amount, it can automatically send a message to your Amazon app to order more,\u201d Shyam Gollakota, an associate professor at the university\u2019s Paul G. Allen School of Computer Science &amp; Engineering, said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"v2-processed\">The team is now making computer-aided design models available to the public, which means 3D-printing enthusiasts are able to create objects out of commercially available plastics that can wirelessly communicate with other smart devices, such as a battery-free slider that controls music volume, or a water sensor that sends an alarm to your phone when it detects a leak.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"v2-processed\">Wearable electronic devices \u2013 printed on skin \u2026<\/h4>\n<p class=\"v2-processed\">If you cannot decide which smartwatch to buy, fear not: you may not have to fret for too much longer.<\/p>\n<p class=\"v2-processed\">Researchers at the University of Minnesota, in the US, have worked out how to print 3D electronics directly onto the skin.<\/p>\n<p class=\"v2-processed\">It is done using a portable, lightweight printer costing less than US$400.<\/p>\n<div class=\"blockquote-quote v2-processed\">The 3D printer can track the hand using the markers and adjust in real-time to the movements and contours of the hand, so printing of the electronics keeps its circuit shape<\/div>\n<div class=\"blockquote-author v2-processed\">MICHAEL MCALPINE, UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA<\/div>\n<p class=\"v2-processed\">Michael McAlpine, the university\u2019s associate professor of mechanical engineering, said one of the key innovations of the technique was its ability to adjust to small movements of the body during printing.<\/p>\n<p class=\"v2-processed\">Temporary markers are placed on the skin, which is scanned, and the printer then uses computer vision to adjust to movements in real-time.<\/p>\n<p class=\"v2-processed\">\u201cNo matter how hard anyone would try to stay still when using the printer on the skin, a person moves slightly and every hand is different,\u201d McAlpine said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"v2-processed\">\u201cThis printer can track the hand using the markers and adjust in real-time to the movements and contours of the hand, so printing of the electronics keeps its circuit shape.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"v2-processed\">Printing electronics on skin \u201chas unlimited potential for important applications in the future\u201d, McAlpine said.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"v2-processed\">\u201cIn everyday lives, you can imagine your family eventually printing their next smartwatch directly on their skin.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"v2-processed\">To remove it, the electronics can be peeled off with tweezers, or washed off with water.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"v2-processed\">\u201cWe are probably, [a] minimum [of] 10 years away from this, but eventually the printers may be portable enough that you can carry one around in a backpack and print sophisticated devices anywhere,\u201d McAlpine said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h2>So what is coming

\/><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Technological innovation today waits for no one, so what can we expect in future?<\/p>\n<p class=\"v2-processed\">A research team at City University of Hong Kong has made a breakthrough in 4D printing \u2013 for ceramics.Professor Lu Jian, the university\u2019s vice-president of research and technology and chair professor of mechanical engineering, said 4D printing involved conventional 3D printing combined with the additional element of time as the fourth dimension.<\/p>\n<p class=\"v2-processed\">It involved the printed objects being able to re-shape or self-assemble themselves over time with external stimuli, such as mechanical force, temperature or a magnetic field, he said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"v2-processed\">The team\u2019s development of \u201cceramic ink\u201d \u2013 a mixture of polymers and ceramic nanoparticles \u2013 is a groundbreaking advancement in materials research, which could mark a new stage in the structural application of ceramics used in the manufacture of electronic devices, the aerospace industry and space exploration.<\/p>\n<p class=\"v2-processed\">\u201cCeramics cannot be cast or shaped easily because of the material\u2019s extremely high melting temperature,\u201d Lu said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"v2-processed\">\u201cFurthermore, the existing 3D-printed ceramic precursors are usually difficult to deform, hindering the production of ceramics with complex shapes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"v2-processed\">The 3D-printed ceramic precursors printed with this ink are soft and can be stretched three times beyond their initial length, enabling complex shapes, such as origami folding.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"v2-processed\">\u201cWith the versatile shape-morphing capability of the printed ceramic precursors, its application can be huge,\u201d Lu said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"v2-processed\">With the arrival of 5G networks, ceramic products would start to play a more important role in the manufacturing of electronic products, Lu said.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"v2-processed\">\u201cThe artistic nature of ceramics and their capability to form complex shapes also provide the
