3D Printed Metal Prostheses Offer New Hope for Distal Radius Giant Cell Tumor Patients

3D Printed Metal Prostheses Offer New Hope for Distal Radius Giant Cell Tumor Patients

January 31, 2026 Medical

Researchers at Guangxi Medical University Hospital in China used 3D printing to produce custom titanium prostheses with mesh patches for five patients with distal radius giant cell tumors between 2018 and 2021. By precisely matching each patient’s anatomy, the implants improved ligament attachment, joint stability, and early wrist mobility.

Black Buffalo 3D and ICC-ES revise AC509 criteria for multi-story construction 3D printing Construction 3D Printing

Black Buffalo 3D Corporation, a leading provider of large scale 3D printers for construction and a member of HN Inc.—formerly Hyundai BS&C Co. Ltd.—has successfully collaborated with the International Code Council Evaluation Service (ICC-ES) to revise its ICC-ES AC509 criteria. This update enhances the acceptance criteria (AC) for 3D Automated Construction Technology for 3D printed concrete walls from single-story building construction to multi-story building construction.

Sintavia Develops Exclusive Process for 3D Printing F357 Aluminum 3D Printing Processes

Florida based, metal AM forerunner, Sintavia, LLC, announced today that it had developed full end-to-end parameters for producing additively manufactured parts in F357 aluminum, as well as other Al-Si alloys, for use in precision manufacturing. Sintavia’s proprietary process for printing F357 aluminum powder was developed specifically to address aerospace and automotive industry needs for components with low density, good processability, and heat conductivity. Though most aluminum alloy parts are manufactured using traditional casting practices, Sintavia is changing the landscape for industries looking to expand beyond traditional manufacturing in foundry-grade aluminum alloys.

Danish Researchers Implant Most Natural 3D Printed Bone Yet in Mouse Bioprinting

As reported by By Birgitte Dalgaard, on the University’s official blog, researchers from SDU (the University of Southern Denmark) have succeeded in 3D printing artificial bones that grow naturally together with the body’s own bones. In mouse experiments the artificial 3D printed bone even formed marrow. This opens up completely new possibilities for patients who need bone implants.
