Syqe Medical Takes Over Medicinal Marijuana Market with 3D Printed Inhaler Medical

by Medical

Israel’s medicinal marijuana business is booming. Incidentally, Israel is also home to some of the most advanced 3D printing technologies around. One startup, Syqe Medical leveraged both these evolving market segments to bring its unique Syqe medicinal plant 3D printed inhaler to market. A partnership signed in late 2015 with Teva Pharmaceutical Industries provides distribution, while the use of innovative 3D printers, such as Nano Dimension‘s Dragonfly, helps with the development process for this innovative – and stylish – product.

FF3DM 3D prints entire fleet of 1m long model ships AM Software

by Design

When I visit 3D printing events in China what seems very clear to me is that Chinese adopters use 3D printing a lot. They generally don’t ask all the questions that Europeans and Americans ask and they don’t spent too much time thinking about the issues and the limitations of the technology: they just use it. Hangzhou based 3D printing service FF3DM used it to 3D print a fleet of huge model ships.

Wearables, fashion and technology, what’s 3D printing gotta do with It? Consumer Products

by Consumer

The Internet of Things, flexible electronics, mass customization, augmentation, bionics and prosthetics, shape memory and programmable materials, sports devices and the Apple Watch. All these trendy tag terms – so different from each other – are somehow described and defined by and contained within the general idea of wearables. But what exactly are wearable technologies – or “wearables” for short?
