While the research may have only aimed to demonstrate what is possible for 3D printing of electronic devices, researchers at Princeton University have used 3D printing to create an entire contact lens with light-emitting diodes (LEDs) embedded into it.

With new “inks” containing semiconductors, researchers have been able to print LEDs for the first time. A 3-D printer can already make a prototype or spare part out of metal or polymer. Researchers at Princeton University have now taken an important step toward expanding the technology’s potential… Continue reading “3D Printing Bio-Electronic Parts”
You can use 3D printing to make a handful of electronics, such as antennas and batteries, but LEDs and semiconductors have been elusive; you usually need some other manufacturing technique to make them work, which limits what they can do and where they’ll fit. Continue reading “3D printing technique will put electronics into just about everything”
Researchers at Princeton University have developed a 3D printer that can print LEDs in layers — and it could one day print contact lenses that incorporate heads-up displays. Here’s a hypothetical question: would you rather have a head-up display on glasses or a contact lens? Continue reading “First 3D LED printer could print heads-up-display contact lenses”
To date, the 3D printing of electronic components has been limited to the printing of batteries, strain sensors, interdigitated-electrode capacitors and passive metallic structures such as interconnects and antennas on surfaces or within biological organs… Continue reading “Fully 3D-printed quantum dot LEDs”
Electronics giant Philips will today unveil a new range of wireless LED lamps, including 3D-printed sculpture-style luminaires, as it pushes further into the smart home lighting market. Continue reading “Philips adds new dimension to LED market with 3D printed lamps”
Everyone’s getting all riled up about Google Glass and smartwatches. Marcus Olsson of slickstreamer has 3D printed a DIY wearable that changes colour as you move and, while it serves no Kurzweilian purpose, its glowing lights trump anything that major manufacturers have come up with for the wearable revolution. Continue reading “The Wearables Revolution is DIY LED and 3D Printed (VIDEO)”
