Young girls that suffer from spinal curvature will soon be able to wear lighter and more stylish braces to treat their condition.

Neri Oxman's team at MIT Media Lab has created 3D-printed "skins" designed to facilitate synthetic biological processes for travelling to other planets.

Daniel Widrig is presenting a collection of 3D-printed wearable sculptures at Design Miami this week, including one that looks like an exoskeleton.

The end of the world is not the end of couture. Dutch designer Iris van Herpen merges 3-D printer technology with high-end fashion for a postapocalyptic result.
