Custom 3D printed models improve precision of oral cancer surgery

December 19, 2025 Medical

Custom 3D printed models tailored to individual patients are helping surgeons remove oral cancers with greater precision, according to new research from The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center – Arthur G. James Cancer Hospital and Richard J. Solove Research Institute (OSUCCC – James). In 92 percent of head and neck surgeries that used a 3D model during the operation, complete tumor removal was achieved, compared to 74 percent of surgeries performed without one. Researchers report that this approach allows for more accurate excision of malignant tissue while preserving healthy structures, potentially reducing the need for follow-up treatment.

NASA to “RAMPT up” Artemis program by DED 3D printing SLS rocket engine nozzles Aerospace

As part of the Artemis program, NASA is returning astronauts to the Moon where humanity will prepare to reach Mars. Through NASA’s Rapid Analysis and Manufacturing Propulsion Technology project, or RAMPT, the US space agency is advancing the development and implementation of metal DED technology to 3D print large rocket engine parts. The method will bring down costs and lead times for producing large, complex engine components like nozzles and combustion chambers for use in the SLS (Space Launch System) launch vehicle, which will bring humans back to the Moon and eventually to Mars as part of the ongoing Artemis program.

Triumph Group becomes latest aerospace giant to join additive manufacturing revolution Aerospace

Aerospace industry leader, Triumph Group has acquired two systems from GE Additive, as well as a range of AddWorksTM consultancy service packages, to help further its additive manufacturing strategy. It seems that more and more traditional industrial giants are coming to the (inevitable) realization that AM is the future and that they need to invest to get themselves on board of the soon-departing AM flight.

FIT presents FiT Filter carrier, a practical 3D printed mask solution against Coronavirus AM Industry

Like many (so so many) other AM companies, the FIT Additive Manufacturing Group also responded to the Corona Pandemic by proposing a solution that leverages AM rapidity. The German firm developed (and made available to download for 3D printing here) a special filtration system named FiT filter carrier for the general population, which can be combined with almost any filter material to form an emergency mask.

Supporting production in a crisis with Sinterit SLS 3D printing 3D Printer Hardware

In this time of crisis, every person has a role to play, whether it is staying put at home, providing an essential service or working on the front lines. In the additive manufacturing industry, many companies and individuals have stepped up to leverage 3D printing capabilities to help support those working on the front lines, to protect them from exposure to the virus. It has been heartening to see and is truly making a difference.
