MIT Introduces MagMix to Reduce Cell Settling in 3D Bioprinting, Addresses Key Limitation

February 17, 2026 Medical

Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have created MagMix, a compact magnetic system that actively prevents cell settling during 3D bioprinting, producing more uniform and functional tissues. The innovation addresses a key limitation in biofabrication: sedimentation in bioinks—a mixture of living cells and hydrogels—which can cause clogging, uneven cell distribution, and inconsistent tissue quality, making it difficult to print large or complex tissues reliably.

New Matter Is the Next Low-cost 3D Printer Manufacturer to Shut Down Consumer Products

Just last week we reported on low-cost 3D printer manufacturer Type A Machines shutting down. We asked ourselves if it would be an isolated case or the first of a series of closures as certain unsustainable business models meet their fate. Apparently, it may be the latter. This week another low-cost system manufacturer, New Matter, is announcing the imminent ceasing of operations.
