Vespers 3D printed death mask collection by Neri Oxman unveiled at London’s Design Museum 3D Printing Processes

by Consumer

Stratasys launched ‘The New Ancient’ 3D printed art and design collection, which includes Vespers’ a new series of exploratory 3D printed death masks, designed by Neri Oxman and her team. The collections were unveiled at the public at the grand reopening of London’s Design Museum. Oxman combines design and computation to produce the masks which, in a landmark breakthrough, emulate the resolution and complexity that is usually only found in nature.

TreeD Releases Polypropylene Filament for Injection Molded Strength Parts 3D Printing Processes

by Business

There are a number of advantages that accompany the use of 3D printing technology, from cost effectiveness to faster production times. But one area that the technology slightly lacks is in material functionality, which oftentimes fails to meet the strength and resilience of the injection molding process. To alleviate this glaring issue, the Italian filament producer TreeD has created their new P-LENE polypropylene filament.

3D bioprinted human pancreas may someday be utilized in transplants 3D Printing Processes

by Medical

Celprogen Inc., a leader in the Stem Cell Research and Therapeutics industry for stem cell research since 2002, successfully finished manufacturing of a 3D bioprinted human pancreas from flexible Poly Lactic Acid (PLA) material scaffold that was populated with adult human pancreatic stem cells. These 3D printed human pancreases were coated and seeded with human adult pancreatic stem cells. The 3D pancreas scaffold was populated with three T225 human Pancreatic Stem Cells 36097-24-T225, and with human adult pancreatic cells 3002-04-T225; the scaffold was coated with ECM prior to seeding the cells. This flexible PLA scaffold allows the seeded pancreatic stem cells to potentially differentiate into an adult functional pancreas. The 3D print was reduced from an adult 18 year old pancreas to approximately 1/5 its original size.

Materialise Partners with Nuova SPA for Production of the Bicicletto e-Bike 3D Printing Processes

by Automotive

Bicicletto is an electric vehicle that turns mobility into an art, by blending the motorbike attitude and the bicycle spirit. Now with a major 3D-printed upgrade, Bicicletto is set to blur the lines of classic design and high-tech engineering even further. The upgrade is the first offering from the collaboration between Materialise NV (NASDAQ: MTLS), leader in Additive Manufacturing solutions and software, and Nuova SPA, historical Italian automotive brand, reborn in 2014. The new Bicicletto will feature additive manufactured end-use parts that make it lighter, faster and more cost-efficient to produce.

Additive Industries Automated AM Factory Gears Up for Full Series Production 3D Printing Processes

by Business

Whether you refer to it as the fully automated factory, the lights out factory, or digital serial manufacturing – the point is, it has arrived. Traditional manufacturing, with one machine dedicated to each individual task, is out the window. Today’s metal AM machines are capable of fully automating the process from start to finish, from initial powder handling, to 3D printing and even post-processing.

Pjotr Presents Spica Virginis, the Titanium 3D Printed Fountain Pen and Nib 3D Printing Processes

by Consumer

Dutch designer and technologist Pjotr (aka Rein van der Mast) is about to disrupt how fountain pens are made. Instead of relying on proven technology like turning, a couple of years ago he started 3D printing titanium fountain pens and now he also 3D prints its fully functional nib. This enables him to create complex design features and even mechanical assemblies in a single 3D print.
