3D Printed Models Create New Paths for Treating Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV)

In the battle against herpes simplex virus (HSV), 3D printing technology is offering a new approach to drug development by creating models of human skin. Current antiviral drugs often fall short because they cannot replicate the complexity of human tissue. To address this, Dr. Jia Zhu from the Fred Hutch Vaccine and Infectious Disease Division, alongside biofabrication experts Dr. Ian Hayman and Dr. Tori Ellison, is using 3D printing to develop these models, enhancing the precision of virus studies.

When complete, the 350-square-meter build will be Australia’s first multi-storey 3D printed home and will be lived in by none other than Luyten’s CEO and Global President Ahmed Mahil in an effort to demonstrate the viability of 3D printed homes.

ICC releases ICC 1150 standard for 3D printed concrete walls Construction 3D Printing

The International Code Council (ICC) has announced the development of ICC 1150, the first-ever standard for 3D Automated Construction Technology (3DACT) for 3D Concrete Walls. This standard aims to provide comprehensive structural criteria for interior and exterior 3D printed concrete walls, supporting load-bearing, non-load-bearing, and shear wall applications in single-story and multi-story structures.

Auxilium Biotechnologies 3D prints medical devices in Space

Auxilium Biotechnologies, a San Diego medtech startup, is 3D printing medical devices in space. The company uses a DLP-based bioprinter called the Auxilium Microfabrication Platform (AMP-1) to create biomimetic devices for nerve injuries. A recent deployment of the AMP-1 to the International Space Station (ISS) resulted in a successful test, described by Auxilium CEO Jacob Koffler as “a landmark achievement for space biomanufacturing.”
