ISS cosmonauts bioprint bone tissue in space using 3dbio’s magnetic bioprinter Bioprinting

by Aerospace

For the first time in the world, Russian scientists from 3D Bioprinting Solutions (3dbio) were able to bioprint bone tissue in space by growing fragments of bone structure in zero-gravity conditions. During experiments on the ISS, tissue samples were made from calcium phosphate ceramics, which were populated with living cells. These sample are now currently being comprehensively studied on Earth. In the future, this technology will enable the creation of bone implants for transplantation to cosmonauts on long-range interplanetary expeditions.

Prellis Biologics launches TissueWorkshop to simplify 3D scaffold design Bioprinting

by Design

Prellis Biologics, Inc. is hoping to make the bioprinting process more accessible in order to accelerate research in the field of human tissue engineering. As part of this effort, the company has developed TissueWorkshop, an easy-to-use web-based interface designed for biologists and tissue engineers. The program, which can reportedly be learned in minutes, enables users to generate libraries of vascular-inspired 3D scaffolds based on user input.

EP-M250 3D printer and OptimScan 5M scanner dramatically shorten automotive part development cycle 3D Printer Hardware

by Automotive

SHINING 3D has been working in close contact with automotive companies and motorsports teams for years to help them adopt additive manufacturing and increase productivity while reducing costs. In a recent case, SHINING 3D helped an automotive company design, produce and test a new exhaust pipe through a new phase of product development. The metal powder bed fusion (MPBF) technology from SHINING 3D, with the EP-M250 3D printer, and the high-precision OptimScan 5 blue-light 3D scanning and inspection technology were used during the process.
