Human Muscle Tissue 3D Printed in Microgravity by ETH Zurich Researchers

November 6, 2025 Medical

Researchers at Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich. (ETH Zurich) have successfully 3D printed human muscle tissue in microgravity during parabolic flight experiments, marking a milestone in space-based biofabrication. The study aims to enhance disease modeling and drug development by recreating human tissues under gravity-free conditions that more accurately reflect the body’s natural architecture.

One-to-one with Enrico Dini, the Italian who invented binder jetting for construction Construction 3D Printing

Throughout history, many Italian geniuses did not reap the benefits of their inventions. Just think of Galileo, excommunicated by the Roman Catholic Church for having understood the motion of planets. Or more recently Meucci who invented the telephone only to have Graham Bell obtain the patent and build an empire with it. Many great visionaries had to leave Italy — and continue to have to leave Italy — to find someone willing to finance their ventures, starting with Columbus, who turned to the queen of Spain in order to set sail on the voyage that would lead to the Americas. The story of Enrico Dini, the man who invented the idea of 3D printing concrete houses by binder jetting, is in many ways a modern version of these: a modern odyssey for the future of construction, one that shares some similarities with these great stories.

Black Buffalo 3D to live print first-of-its-kind home in Fort Worth, TX Construction 3D Printing

Black Buffalo 3D, a construction 3D printing company based out of New Jersey, is gearing up to 3D print a minimalist home design in Fort Worth, Texas on May 29 and 30th. Notably, the company is turning the build into a live event, inviting people from the additive and construction industries to witness its NEXCON 3D printing solution construct a code-compliant home.

Spectral 30, 3ntr reveals details on new 3D printer for high performance polymers 3D Printer Hardware

Italian 3D printing company 3ntr presented its new Spectral 30 3D printer at Formnext 2018. The machine, built to process high performance polymers such as PEEK, ULTEM and PPSU, has been in development for some time through the EU-backed Clean Sky project, a wide-reaching research program aimed at developing new, eco-friendlier technologies. The Spectral project is also being realized in collaboration with French research group Rescoll, which has been tasked with developing filaments and support materials for the Spectral platform.

Sudanese doctor asks for 3D printable respirators in fight against COVID-19 AM Industry

As a result of 3dpbm’s call for help to AM companies providing resources to help fight COVID-19 pandemic, Dr. Zahid Fedial, an ER Doctor at the Aljawda hospital in Sudan, reached out to ask for support with respirators. The crisis in the African nation seems to be already much worse than thought. Africa had so far appeared to be somewhat immune to the spread of the virus but it seems that statistics may have been dramatically affected by lack of testing.
