Cobra Golf has unveiled its new 3DP Tour Putters, incorporating 3D printed nylon cartridges for enhanced performance. The putters feature a multi-material design aimed at maximizing stability and feel. They will be available at retail starting March 13 for $379.
Researchers at McGill University have developed a technique using severed mosquito proboscises as ultra-fine nozzles for 3D printing, enabling the creation of structures as thin as 20 micrometres. This innovation, dubbed 3D necroprinting, addresses the limitations of commercial nozzles and could aid in producing replacement tissues and organs. The approach draws inspiration from nature to achieve affordable, precise bioprinting.
