Microplate bioprinting platform could help combat age-related degenerative muscle diseases Bioprinting

by Medical

With increasing life expectancies across much of the globe, the need for medication and treatments for age-related degenerative muscle and tendon diseases is growing. And though much research is being done on that front, medical scientists have faced consistent challenges in developing effective drugs for muscle degeneration. Fortunately, a team of researchers in Switzerland is conducting microplate bioprinting research that could offer a solution to one of the main challenges in developing treatments.

As wildfire season starts, Sinterit’s SLS 3D printing helps to optimize firefighting equipment 3D Printer Hardware

by Environment

As forest fires increasingly rage through forests and towns around the world—currently Colorado and New Mexico are battling intense wildfires—it is starting to sink in that they are a reality of climate change and something we will inevitably be seeing more of. To reckon with increasingly powerful and frequent wildfires, firefighters require more powerful and high-quality equipment that they can rely on.

ParaMatters and Renishaw 3D print 35% lighter motorcycle part with topology optimization AM Software

by Automotive

To fully reap the benefits of additive manufacturing technologies for part production, it is often necessary to go back to the drawing board to reengineer the part in question and optimize its structure for AM. Fortunately, with state-of-the-art software programs such as ParaMatters’ CogniCAD, redesigning a part for AM doesn’t necessarily entail going back to the literal drawing board.
