News and Insights of 3D Printing and Manufacturing
The name “Fuse1” seems to imply that a fusion process will be involved in the new hardware that Formlabs will be presenting at the upcoming Digital Factory event to be held at the MIT Media Lab next June 5th. This would exclude an upgraded and possible larger SLA system as it would also exclude an updated “Farm” network system.
Thai artist and designer Anon Pairot has designed an outdoor terrace consisting of 3D printed concrete furniture and decorations. Thailand’s Siam Cement Group provided its 3D printable SCG cement formula for the project.
In 2014, Made In Space (MIS) took the initial step in achieving this with the first manufacturing ...

RegenHU, with 10 years’ experience in the design and manufacture of 3D Bioprinters, has developed a unique, cutting-edge Bioprinting Software Suite. An exclusive Software built specifically to correspond to both the advanced requirements of R&D as well as the demanding specifications of clinical testing.
After a long incubation, Impossible-Objects finally showed the first system based on its new composite additive manufacturing technology (CBAM). The 3D printer uses a process different from any other current AM technologies and makes functional, fiber-reinforced parts at production speeds scaling to minutes or seconds. CBAM works with the widest range of materials, such as fiber fabrics including carbon, glass and Kevlar, and polymers including polyamides and PEEK. Its goal is to replace conventional manufacturing techniques while offering greater geometric complexity.
FATHOM, an advanced manufacturer with an expertise in 3D printing and additive manufacturing, signed a partner agreement with new entry metal AM OEM Desktop Metal. FATHOM will adopt DM’s innovative metal AM approach as part of its in-house advanced manufacturing solutions and managed services to further develop its focus on changing the way products are designed and manufactured.
As anticipated in our overview of the Rapid event in Pittsburgh, Oxford Performance Materials (OPM), a leader in advanced materials science and high performance additive manufacturing (HPAM) officially launched of nickel-plated OXFAB–Ni, offering 3D-printed PEKK-based parts that replace high performance aluminum alloys for aerospace and industrial applications.
The new world of 3D bioprinted organs now includes implanted 3D bioprinted ovaries as bioprosthetic structures that, true to their design, actually ovulate, according to a study by Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine and McCormick School of Engineering. By removing a female mouse’s ovary and replacing it with a bioprosthetic ovary, the mouse was able to not only ovulate but also give birth to healthy pups. The moms were even able to nurse their young.
Since it was launched at the beginning of 2016, SyFy Channel’s Thingiverse page has grown to offer 42 3D printable models from its TV properties, including The Expanse, 12 Monkeys and the Killjoys. Not so many: this perfectly reflects that status of “consumer 3D printing” as still a seed with great potential. During the airing of 12 Monkeys Season 3 Event, viewers who owned a 3D printer were urged to download models (in particular the mask from the show’s villain, known as “The Witness” from the Channel’s Thingiverse account.
