UTSW awarded $25M for research on 3D printing functional liver tissue
The UT Southwestern Medical Center (UTSW) is working on a federally funded research effort aimed at producing functional liver tissue using 3D printing.
Kelowna Cancer Centre Uses 3D Printer to Personalize Radiation Treatment
A small 3D printer is now being used by clinicians at British Columbia Cancer Kelowna to create patient-specific tools for brachytherapy, enabling more accurate radiation delivery for people with cervical, vaginal, and recurrent endometrial cancers.
FUGO Precision 3D Integrates Graphy Materials for High-Precision Dental Manufacturing
FUGO Precision 3D, a developer of 3D printing technology for dental manufacturing, has announced a strategic collaboration with South Korea’s Graphy, a developer of photopolymer materials for 3D printing, ahead of its official market debut at LMT Lab Day 2026 in Chicago. The partnership will integrate Graphy’s advanced photopolymer materials into FUGO’s centrifugal 3D printing platform, creating a streamlined, high-precision workflow for dental applications.
MUHC Researchers Test VR and 3D Printing for Better Lung Repair
Researchers from McGill University Health Centre Research Institute (RI-MUHC) are using virtual reality (VR) and 3D printing to study whether damaged lungs could one day be repaired rather than replaced through transplantation. In one of the institute’s laboratories in Montreal, the team is using VR headsets to examine detailed digital models of lung anatomy, moving through airways to identify damaged areas and plan where 3D printed, hollow components could be used to connect healthy sections of the organ.
Wounds Could Now Be Treated Using A Closed-Loop Drug-Delivering Dressing
Researchers at the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China (UESTC) have revealed a new wound dressing that can both monitor a wound and deliver medicine automatically when the tissue shows signs of trouble.
Maxwell Clinic Integrates Advanced Dentistry to Support Airmen Readiness
The Maxwell Medical Group’s Dental Flight, the dental unit at Maxwell Air Force Base (AFB) in Alabama, is enhancing support for active-duty Airmen by expanding advanced oral surgery services and adopting digital dentistry tools. These upgrades allow the clinic to handle complex procedures in-house, improving efficiency and continuity of care for service members.
Duke and Penn State Teams Explore Respiratory Infections with 3D Lung Model
A team of researchers from Duke University and Penn State, led by Julia Oh, PhD, and Ibrahim Ozbolat, PhD, is using a 3D bioprinted lung model to study how influenza and bacteria interact in human lung tissue. Funded by a $3.2 million NIH grant over four years, the project aims to uncover why some co-infections worsen illness, with experiments conducted in labs at Duke and Penn State.
Plans for 3D printed church in Czechia progress Construction 3D Printing
Construction 3D printing technologies are being used to build myriad structures, from student housing blocks, to pedestrian bridges, to military bunkers. Soon, we will see 3D printing used to build a new parish church in Czechia. The project, to be the first of its kind, was recently given the blessing of the Archdiocese of Prague, who recognized the potential of the technology to build a place of worship with an innovative design and acoustics, while also bringing down building costs.
