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

Rein van der Mast releases new Meteor 3D printed fountain pen Consumer Products
Dutch designer and technologist Rein van der Mast has been disrupting how fountain pens are made. Instead of relying on proven technology, in 2013 he was the first to 3D print a titanium fountain pen, followed, in 2016, by the nibs. Some amazing models followed: the very unique Spica Virginis (also available in solid gold) and, progressively more widely available models, such as the Type One. The latest addition to van der Mast’s collection is Meteor, an exclusive multi-metal fountain pen in which arts and crafts of the past go hand in hand with manufacturing technologies of the future.
GE Additive Sandvik begin a strategic partnership in the Binder Jet program AM Industry
General Electric Additive and Sandvik have become strategic partners in the Binder Jet beta program. GE’s established manufacturing ability combines with Sandvik’s long experience in metallurgy. Both companies are early innovators in AM technologies. GE Additive offers a full suite of AM production solutions. Sandvik, a Swedish firm, has participated in the AM space since 2013 through materials production and services. The companies combine vast international reach. The partnership promises increased material and technological development in GE’s client offering.
Gone fishing: FinMan leverages Carbon 3D printing for production Consumer Products
This next consumer AM case study is a fishy one—literally. FinMan Fishing Innovations, a Michigan-based fishing equipment company has brought to market a multi-function fishing tool made with the support of Carbon’s Digital Light Synthesis technology. The product, described as “the Swiss Army knife” of fishing, integrates several functions into a single, unmoldable structure.
Made In Space’s VULCAN to be further developed under new NASA contract Aerospace
As additive manufacturing technologies continue to evolve here on Earth, they are also moving steadily ahead in outer space, due in large part to American company Made In Space. The company, which in 2016 sent the first 3D printer into space to be used aboard the International Space Station (ISS), has now won a contract from NASA to continue developing VULCAN, its next-generation metal space manufacturing system.
