How bioprinting pluripotent stem cells can take us closer to an Alzheimer’s cure Bioprinting

by Business

Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and other neurological disorders affect millions of people across the globe and are expected to become more prevalent as populations age. Despite how widespread the conditions are, however, there are still no real cures fo the diseases, only treatments to lessen or control symptoms. Fortunately, 3D bioprinting processes are presenting a potential avenue for a cure, and researchers are beginning to explore the technology for drug screening applications. Canadian biomedical engineer Stephanie Willerth is one such researcher who is pioneering the use of bioprinting for brain tissues with her research group.

HRE Wheels and GE Additive reinvent the 3D printed titanium wheel Additive Manufacturing

by Automotive

One of the most important inventions of all time, the wheel paved the road for modern transportation to be developed, as it enabled people to travel and move goods faster than before. Today, the wheel is still undergoing development to improve efficiency and performance. At Formnext 2018, for instance, HRE Wheels and GE Additive announced that they had co-developed the first 3D printed titanium wheel, the HRE3D+. Now, the wheel production expert has reinvented the 3D printed wheel. Or, more accurately, it has revealed a new and improved design for the titanium assembly.
