voxeljet down 18.2% in Q2, optimistic on new HSS systems and service revenues AM Industry

by Business

Some might have missed it but voxeljet is moving fast on its 3D printing capabilities as binder jetting technology as a whole is experiencing a kind of a renaissance. This does not yet reflect on the sale of voxeljet systems for the latest fiscal quarter, where the company reported revenues down 18.2% mostly due to decreasing system revenues (-33.4%) to €2.6 million. It does, however, make the company optimistic for the near future. As voxeljet CEO Dr. Ingo Ederer clearly stated:

Human 3D Blood-Vessel-On-a-Chip Model Shows Cell Migration for Fibrotic Diseases AM Software

by Design

A team of scientists at the Wyss Institute at Harvard University and Boston University has created a 3D blood-vessel-on-a-chip model to investigate endothelial barrier failure, and found that inflammation disrupts the connections between endothelial cells and mural cells, causing the mural cells to retract or even detach from their usual position surrounding blood vessels and leading to further leakage.

BYU Researchers 3D Print First Truly Microfluidic “Lab On a Chip” Device Research & Education

by Medical

As reported by Todd Hollingshead on the official University blog, researchers at Brigham Young University (BYU) are the first to 3D print a viable microfluidic device small enough to be effective at a scale much less than 100 micrometers. Microfluidic devices are tiny chips that can sort out disease biomarkers, cells and other small structures in samples like blood by using microscopic channels incorporated into the devices.

Danish Researchers Implant Most Natural 3D Printed Bone Yet in Mouse Bioprinting

by Medical

As reported by By Birgitte Dalgaard, on the University’s official blog, researchers from SDU (the University of Southern Denmark) have succeeded in 3D printing artificial bones that grow naturally together with the body’s own bones. In mouse experiments the artificial 3D printed bone even formed marrow. This opens up completely new possibilities for patients who need bone implants.
