UTA Researchers Create Smart 3D Printed Patch to Regenerate Heart Muscle
A 3D printed patch designed to promote heart muscle regeneration is being developed by a bioengineering professor at the University of Texas at Arlington (UTA). This project aims to address a critical medical challenge by offering a potential new treatment option for heart attack survivors, whose damaged heart tissue currently lacks the ability to repair itself—often leading to serious, long-term health complications.
Nanochon Receives Health Canada Approval to Launch First-in-Human Trial of 3D Printed Knee Implant
Health Canada, the federal regulatory authority, has approved U.S. medical device startup Nanochon’s clinical trial design, authorizing the launch of a first-in-human study for its 3D printed Chondrograft knee implant. The trial will assess the implant’s ability to repair damaged cartilage and reduce recovery times for patients with limited treatment options. This approval represents a significant step forward in validating Nanochon’s minimally invasive joint repair technology.

UPenn engineers reimagine concrete 3D printing with algae Construction 3D Printing
According to the University of Pennsylvania (UPenn), a groundbreaking concrete innovation could change the way we build—and how we fight climate change. Researchers there have combined 3D printing with fossilized microscopic algae to create a new type of concrete that captures significantly more carbon dioxide while using less cement.
‘Duality’ column adds some color to 3D printed concrete Professional Additive Manufacturing
It is telling that this year’s Venice Biennale of Architecture features a plethora of 3D printed works, from Anti-Ruin, a 3D printed gate made from a marble dust material, to Picoplanktonics, a living 3D printed installation at the Canadian Pavilion. The technology is clearly at the cutting-edge of architecture and is an effective tool for architects and designers to reimagine and play with new designs and materials. We recently learned of yet another 3D printed project, which is on display in Venice’s Giardini della Marinaressa: Duality, a sculpture 3D printed from colored concrete.
C2i and Hitachi Launch First Automated Organoid Culture System in Hong Kong
Hong Kong based Centre for Immunology & Infection Limited (C2i), its spin-off C2iTech, and Japanese multinational conglomerate Hitachi have announced a strategic collaboration to develop 3D printed airway organoids for clinical applications. C2i also unveiled Hong Kong’s first automated organoid culture system, located at the Hong Kong Science Park (HKSTP). These joint efforts aim to enhance the efficiency, scalability, and standardization of organoid production, driving advancements in personalized medicine and regenerative therapies.
Bratislava welcomes first-ever 3D printed bus stop Construction 3D Printing
According to The Slovak Spectator, Bratislava has welcomed the city’s first-ever 3D printed bus stop – located on Harmincova Street in the Dúbravka borough. Completed in early April, the bus stop is the result of a collaboration between the architectural studio Architekti Šebo Lichý and ITB Development – the investor behind the nearby Čerešne residential project – as well as Collarch and the Czech company ICE Industrial Services, which handled the 3D printing of the concrete components.
