Pielleitalia and Roboze Recycle Textiles into 3D Printing Filament

by Consumer

Plastic, and its use/abuse in the global community, is among the most pressing issues of the last decade, where the high degree of competitiveness and performance of the material is opposed to the environmental and health issues. Interestingly, many plastics used in 3D printing are not used solely to make parts: advanced thermoplastics such as nylon (also known as polyamide or PA) and polyester (PET) are also used to make synthetic textile fibers. Even considering that recycling any type of plastic is a lot more difficult than it appears, we’ve been wondering why no one had yet considered recycling textiles such as post-consumer nylon into filaments for 3D printing. Now an initiative by Roboze and pielleitalia aims to do just that.

A New Platform for Customized Medicine via 3D Printing Medical

by Medical

CurifyLabs and Natural Machines have entered a strategic partnership to develop a technology that enables customized medicine production through 3D printing – producing personalized medicines for human and veterinary patients, on-site in pharmacies and hospitals. Compounding is the manual preparation of individualized drug treatments for patients where an optimal treatment cannot be achieved with the currently available medicinal products. There are many talented pharmacists who are able to compound drugs manually but the process is ineffective and lacks quality control.

First 3D construction printer configurator officially launched by COBOD AM Software

First 3D Construction Printer Configurator Officially Launched by COBOD

by Design

As 3dpbm had anticipated last month, COBOD has now, officially, launched the first 3D construction printer configurator – a new tool that enables contractors and developers to estimate the time it will take to 3D print a specific building and calculate the volume of concrete materials needed. For instance, the configurator shows, layer by layer, how the printer can build a 170 m2 (1.900 square feet) villa in just 26 hours.

New ExOne S-Max Flex sand binder jetting system to debut at CastExpo 3D Printer Hardware

New ExOne S-Max Flex Sand Binder Jetting System to Debut at CastExpo

by Technologies

The most affordable sand 3D printer ever offered by binder jetting pioneer ExOne, the all-new S-Max Flex, will debut at CastExpo 2022 in Columbus, Ohio, on April 23. The new machine has been designed from the ground up as a robotic 3D printing system that combines industry-leading binder jetting expertise from ExOne and Desktop Metal (and possibly ETEC Viridis as well). It features Single Pass Jetting technology and will enable more foundries than ever to enjoy the benefits of sand 3D printing technology.
