3D printing’s route to industrial-scale production has been guided by aerospace tolerances, medical implants, and automotive lightweighting. It has also, less visibly, traveled through the mannequin and visual merchandising industries. The need for faster collections, smaller production runs, and more sustainable display solutions led one company to push fused deposition modeling (FDM) beyond its usual … Read more

To record brain activity, neurosurgeons place sensors called bioelectrodes on the brain’s surface. These thin sheets pick up the electrical signals produced by neurons. Conventional bioelectrodes are typically produced in a one-size-fits-all format, but the layout of cortical folds—gyri and sulci—differs between individuals depending on age, sex, body size and other factors, so a generic … Read more
