Stanford Develops 3D Printing Algorithm to Advance Vascular Design for Organ Bioprinting

by Medical

Stanford researchers have taken a major step toward addressing one of the biggest hurdles in organ bioprinting: building realistic vascular networks capable of sustaining lab-grown tissue. Their new platform, published June 12 in Science, accelerates the design of these blood vessel systems and translates them into 3D printable models—bringing the promise of personalized, functional organs closer to reality.

UltraThineer Veneers Offer Solution for Severe Tetracycline Staining

by Medical

UltraThineer, a 3D printing-based dental product developed by Boston Micro Fabrication (BMF), has demonstrated success in treating severe tetracycline staining through a recent clinical case. Dr. Tai Ha at Newport Beach Dental Studio applied UltraThineer’s no-prep, zirconia veneers to rehabilitate a 49-year-old patient dissatisfied with her smile due to deep intrinsic discoloration from childhood antibiotic use.
