Sakuu Corporation Awarded Patents for Solid State EV Battery 3D Printing

Sakuu Corporation (previously KeraCel Inc.), a specialist in automated multi-process additive manufacturing, obtained three patents related to EV battery 3D printing; a hybrid solid-state cell with a sealed anode structure, an additive manufacturing system with the ability to create an active device such as a micro-reactor or solid-state battery, and an electrophotographic multi-material 3D printer.

3D-Printed Microneedles for Continuous Glucose Monitoring

3D-Printed Microneedles for Continuous Glucose Monitoring

For many of the 422 million people around the world living with diabetes, glucose monitoring is a necessary, and uncomfortable, daily chore requiring a painful pinprick to test the blood. Newer technologies, like the FreeStyle Libre, offer continuous monitoring, but the system still requires that a 5mm rigid metallic needle be driven into the skin. While not as bothersome as the fingertip lance, it’s still uncomfortable for the patient. Aiming to develop a solution that’s more comfortable for the user, the AIT – Austrian Institute of Technology – partnered with DirectSens and In-Vision to launch the NUMBAT research project. NUMBAT aims at leveraging high-resolution DLP 3D printing to create an array of polymeric microneedles for minimally invasive—and less painful—continuous glucose monitoring (CGM).
