News and Insights of 3D Printing and Manufacturing
Japan-headquartered Kimura Foundry Group, a global network of foundries, acquired a new S-Max system from Desktop Metal owned ExOne. Following the purchase of the new sand binder jet AM system, Kimura Foundry Group now owns the largest number of ExOne systems globally.
The findings, published by a University College London (UCL)-led research team, improve the prospects of how 3D printers could be integrated into rapid-paced clinical settings for the on-demand production of personalized medicines. For the current study, the researchers loaded printlets (printed tablets) with paracetamol – one of many medicines that can be produced using 3D printing.
Anycubic, a leading 3D printer manufacturer, is launching the new Anycubic Kobra series and Anycubic Photon M3 series of 3D printers, featuring leading-edge Anycubic LeviQ auto bed leveling technology and Anycubic LighTurbo matrix light source. These new features will ensure a radically improved user-friendly experience and superb print details.
3D Coffee is a project financed by the European Union funds as part of the First Open Call of the Digital Innovation Hub World, which sees the innovative startup Additive Appliances and the Kilometro Rosso innovation center as protagonists, with the additive technologies lab Lisa Tech. To prepare quality coffee, pressure and temperature control are essential. The “thermo-mechanical” or traditional machines, such as the Moka, the siphon, or the French press, do not directly control these variables and have well-known process limits; however, they are eco-friendly and have a greatly reduced environmental impact, more than 30%, compared to electric machines.
US 3D printer manufacturer 3D Systems has entered into a partnership with artificial intelligence (AI) medical firm Enhatch to make the design and delivery of patient-specific medical devices more efficient.
Colgate, a world leader in oral healthcare, and Nourished, a personalized nourishment company, have teamed up to create Nutristacks – novel, 3D printed ‘chewies’ for on the go oral hygiene. The project adds to the growing suite of personalized 3D printed consumables within the industry.
Surgeons at Israel’s Shaare Zedek Medical Center (SZMC) have successfully transplanted the world’s thinnest artificial cornea into the eye of a patient, according to a Jerusalem Post report.
Evonik is expanding its portfolio of 3D printable biomaterials for medical technology: The specialty chemicals company has developed VESTAKEEP iC4800 3DF, a new osteoconductive PEEK filament, for 3D printed implants, that improves fusion between bone and implants. The high-performance polymer can be processed in common extrusion-based 3D printing technologies such as fused filament fabrication (FFF).
The growing demand for bigger and faster SLS 3D printers – Lisa X and Nils 480 challenged Sinterit to launch a new version of the popular PHS. With the tremendous increase in powder volume that could be printed at once, the postprocessing and powder handling with new, faster PHS.
