Whether you're an athlete or someone experiencing foot pain, it's important to eliminate high-pressure areas in the soles of your shoes. An experimental insole could help, by showing where such areas ...

Researchers at Brigham Young University have demonstrated the ability to create microfluidic lab-on-a-chip devices with channels and valves smaller than ever before. Using a new 3D printing technique, ...

Researchers are developing a 3D-printed insole with integrated sensors that allows the pressure of the sole to be measured in the shoe and thus during any activity. This helps athletes or patients to ...

Using laser-or electron beam-based additive technology is not unique in medical manufacturing, said Stephan Zeidler, business development manager, medical sector, GE Additive, in an interview with ...

Researchers are targeting the next generation of soft actuators and robots with an elastomer-based ink for 3D printing objects with locally changing mechanical properties, eliminating the need for ...

The FDA has begun outlining a potential approach for regulating a cutting-edge front emerging in healthcare: the 3D printing of medical implants or devices customized for each individual patient and ...

In elite sports, fractions of a second sometimes make the difference between victory and defeat. To optimize their performance, athletes use custom- made insoles. But people with musculoskeletal pain ...
