3D Printing

FLUID, an open-source, 3D-printed robot, offers an affordable and customisable solution for automated material synthesis, making advanced research accessible to more scientists.

Scientists in Austria and India are growing human skin – in a lab … with the help of 3D printing. The reason for this is to replace the need for cosmetic testing on animals.

Sculpteo announces the launch of PA12 Blue food grade, an innovative plastic material designed to meet the requirements of industrial environments where hygiene, traceability, and safety are priorities.

3D Systems announced that in collaboration with the University Hospital Basel in Switzerland, its unique point-of-care additive manufacturing solution has been used to design and produce the world’s first Medical Device Regulation (MDR)-compliant 3D-printed PEEK facial implant.

Equispheres, innovator in optimised aluminium powders for Additive Manufacturing (AM), and mobile AM innovator Fieldmade, have announced an initiative to move aluminium part production on laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) beyond traditional manufacturing environments by providing point-of-need access to 3D printing in remote and field locations where safe handling and performance are paramount.

Stratasys and Siemens Healthineers recently presented the results of a joint research effort that demonstrates the unprecedented accuracy of the solutions offered by Stratasys to enable 3D-printed medical imaging phantoms to replicate human anatomy.

Scientists have used holographic projections to bring unprecedented resolution to a light-based 3D printing technique.

Stratasys has announced that its Stratasys Direct Manufacturing facility in Tucson, Arizona, has achieved ISO 13485 certification, a globally recognised standard for quality management systems in medical device manufacturing.

Rapid Fusion is set to unveil a 3D printing robot demonstration centre this month, as it looks to build on a 25% in revenues.

Researchers at Oregon State University (OSU) have created a new approach to 3D printing, by using materials that mimic the properties of living muscles. These materials, known as liquid crystalline elastomers (LCEs), are soft, flexible polymers that change shape dramatically when they are exposed to heat or other stimuli.
