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.

Color 3D Printer Manufacturer Rize 3D Has Shut Down

No one likes to do these stories but they have to be reported: 3D printed manufacturer Rize 3D, a company that was offering a unique mix of extrusion and piezo-jetting for full-color 3D printing capabilities, has shut down. This actually happened a few months ago but, as we said earlier, no one likes to do these stories. The company’s special media accounts have been silent for a few months now and a new company, Palitra, has been established to offer support for existing Rize 3D customers.
