Materialise adds custom-made PEEK implants to cranio-maxillofacial portfolio
Materialise NV, a Belgium-based 3D printing software and medical device company, has introduced custom-made implants made from polyetheretherketone (PEEK) to its cranio-maxillofacial (CMF) portfolio. Surgeons can now select either titanium or the high-performance polymer for patient-specific reconstructions while using the same digital planning and case management system. Availability covers Europe, excluding Switzerland.
MIT Introduces MagMix to Reduce Cell Settling in 3D Bioprinting, Addresses Key Limitation
Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have created MagMix, a compact magnetic system that actively prevents cell settling during 3D bioprinting, producing more uniform and functional tissues. The innovation addresses a key limitation in biofabrication: sedimentation in bioinks—a mixture of living cells and hydrogels—which can cause clogging, uneven cell distribution, and inconsistent tissue quality, making it difficult to print large or complex tissues reliably.
Teams Selected by ARPA-H to Develop Patient-Specific Bioprinted Organs
The Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health (ARPA-H) has announced the first recipients of its Personalized Regenerative Immunocompetent Nanotechnology Tissue (PRINT) program. The selected research teams from Carnegie Mellon University, Wake Forest University, the Wyss Institute, University of California San Diego, and University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center will develop advanced bioprinted organs, including livers and kidneys, designed to function without immunosuppressive drugs by using patient-specific cells or those from biobanks.
restor3d Launches Ossera AFX: Personalized 3D Printed Implants for Complex Bone Defects
restor3d, a specialist in 3D printed personalized orthopedic solutions, has announced the full commercial release of the Ossera AFX Ankle Fusion Cage System. The platform, designed to address complex ankle fusion cases, is now available in both standard off-the-shelf and custom made-to-order configurations.
Two-story 3D printed home passes Japan’s stringent seismic standards Construction 3D Printing
As a country that experiences upwards of 500,000 earthquakes every year, Japan is correct to have highly stringent building requirements. These requirements—the New Anti-seismic Structure Standard from 1981 in particular— ensure that only buildings with earthquake-resistant structures are erected. In a milestone for the emerging construction 3D printing sector, the first two-story 3D printed home has been approved by Japan’s government based on these standards, demonstrating that reinforced 3D printed concrete is a valid construction material for earthquake-resistant homes.
Sustainable, load-bearing printable concrete being developed in Singapore Construction 3D Printing
A team working on a sustainable, structurally-reinforced 3D printable concrete at the National University of Singapore has demonstrated viability for load-bearing components, in the country’s first on-site structural deployment.
Russia prepares proposal for experimental 3D printing in construction Construction 3D Printing
Russia’s State Duma Committee on Economic Policy has prepared a proposal to establish an experimental legal regime for 3D printing in construction, Russian newspaper Vedomosti has reported.
WASP completes Italy’s first certified 3D printed house using four robotic arms Construction 3D Printing
Italian construction robotics company WASP has finished building Itaca, the country’s first certified 3D printed residential structure, using a four-arm robotic system at its Shamballa laboratory in Northern Italy.
