MT Ortho and the production of custom 3D printed bone prostheses Medical

by Medical

MT Ortho, an Italian company with decades of experience in the traditional prostheses market, was also among the first to truly embrace the potential of 3D printing for prosthetic production. The company’s journey with 3D printing began in 2014, when it acquired two GE Additive Arcam Electron Beam Melting (EBM) machines (obviously, at the time they were simply Arcam EBM machines), and employed Simone Di Bella, a recent engineering graduate with additive manufacturing expertise.

Despite the fact that many businesses and cities are reopening around the world, the threat of COVID-19 remains. This means that in order for things to reopen as safely as possible, the process needs to be gradual and reinforced with special measures, such as social distancing and personal protective equipment (PPE). The State of Texas is one region that is taking these precautions into account, and it is reportedly utilizing 3D printing resources to ensure that PPE production is sustained.

3DOPTIC shows why ceramic 3D printed optics are the future for satellites and UAVs Aerospace

by Aerospace

Additive manufacturing is a key technology to providing innovative solutions for optimized optical instruments, meeting the growing demand for lightweight optical instrumentation aboard space and unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) platforms. To prove the feasibility of its ceramic 3DOPTIC service, 3DCeram produced a plane mirror for front-end laser engine (galvo-mirror for high-energy laser application) and optical applications, applying additive manufacturing to the design and manufacturing of the optical substrate.
