Nivalon Leverages AI and 3D Printing to Create Personalized, Motion-Preserving Spinal Implants

February 4, 2026 Medical

U.S. company creating patient-specific spinal implants Nivalon Medical Technologies has developed what it describes as the first fully patient-specific spinal implant that preserves natural motion without metal components. The device combines AI-driven design with advanced ceramic 3D printing, using a zirconia-toughened alumina (ZTA) structure and a flexible core to replicate spinal movement.

Scuderia Cameron Glickenhaus promotes upcoming supercar with fully 3D printed model Additive Manufacturing

While 2D renderings can help to communicate a product concept well enough, there is something to be said about seeing a concept as a physical, three-dimensional object. This marketing reality has not been lost on manufacturers and designers, who are increasingly turning to additive manufacturing to tactilely visualize design and product concepts.

Mass customization, consumer 3D printing, on-demand, local, digital manufacturing. These are no longer just far away goals of 3D printing: for some people, they are already a reality. According to 3dpbm’s newest Polymer AM market report, there were 4.17 million units of entry-level desktop 3D printers installed globally. If we factor in prosumer-level 3D printers – such as those from Ultimaker and Prusa – the total grows to about 4.75. million units. There are those, an increasingly large number of people, that use farms of these 3D printers to build new businesses. That’s certainly the case of Tesla enthusiast Matthew Budraitis and his SnapPlate 3D printed accessories sold on the EveryAmp website.

Anisoprint deploys R&D team at Jacobs University Bremen Research & Education

In September 2022, 3D printing solution provider, Anisoprint, deployed their Research and Development Team at Jacobs University Bremen. The main focus of the partnership was to foster the research and development of composites manufacturing with Continuous Fiber Coextrusion (CFC) technology, and establish a research environment for 3D printing technologies on the university campus in Bremen, Germany.

Fabrisonic and NASA 3D print interplanetary heat exchangers Aerospace

In 2014, NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) awarded Ohio-based Fabrisonic seed funding to develop its hybrid Ultrasonic Additive Manufacturing (UAM) process for improved metal heat exchangers. With continued support from JPL over the years and with in depth development and testing, Fabrisonic has successfully developed pumped fluid loop heat exchangers which are lighter, more efficient and faster to produce than traditional epoxy tube heat exchangers.
