SCG has completed a 3D printed pedestrian bridge spanning Bangkok’s historic Ong Ang Canal, marking one of Thailand’s first uses of large-scale digital fabrication for public infrastructure. The project, finished in 2025 under the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration’s canal revitalization program, combines architectural innovation with local cultural references and sustainability-focused materials research.
In pharmaceutical manufacturing, tablets have long been produced through standardized processes that leave little room for fine-tuning how a drug behaves once ingested. Chinese pharmaceutical technology company Triastek is challenging that model. By applying 3D printing to drug product development and manufacturing, the company is introducing a more controlled and predictable way to engineer oral medications.
MakeGood, a nonprofit focused on disability design, has unveiled the 3D Printed Toddler Mobility Trainer, an affordable, open-source device that helps children with mobility challenges develop independence, coordination, and social skills.
Italian studio Essesi Design Studio has developed Nimble, a conceptual modular prosthetic fin designed to help amputees swim more effectively. The attachable device replaces a missing foot and lower leg, combining a lightweight carbon-fiber shell with a 3D printed flexible rubber lattice that generates thrust while reducing stress on the residual limb.
Austrian medical training and innovation firms Addion and Eyecer.at have begun using 3D printer OEM Stratasys’ Digital Anatomy Solution to create 3D printed anatomical eye models for training in eyelid surgery.
