In segments such as regenerative medicine, neuroscience and drug discovery, 3D printing finds practical uses from cartilage repair, hearing aids to printable pills. In the challenge of fabricating biocompatible 3D microdevices, Nanoscribe’s 3D microprinting represents a versatile approach with the interplay of a high-resolution 3D printer and proprietary photo resin materials. The following scientific work in cell regeneration and nerve interfacing highlights the practicality of 3D-printed micro-objects harmless to living systems.
The last few years have seen an explosion of new materials for 3D printing applications. Each material has its own strengths and weaknesses, so choosing the right one can be a daunting task. After more than a year of research and development, Simplify3D has published an extensive 3D Printing Materials Guide that explores all of the popular filaments in use today, providing expert tips to improve your results with each material. In addition to in-depth articles on more than a dozen different filament types, the Guide also includes a detailed Properties Table for comparing the physical and mechanical properties of one material against another.
Living in increasingly contaminated cities, people are using protective masks more and more frequently. While there are many styles for adults, there are far fewer designed especially for children, for whom pollution is definitely more harmful. At least on a massive scale.

Researchers at the University of Glasgow developed a new method for drug manufacturing which uses 3D printers to create pharmaceuticals on demand. The study on 3D printed drugs, published in a new paper published today in the journal Science, could lead to a ‘Spotify for chemistry’. This would mark a new approach to the manufacturing of pharmaceuticals using a digital code, one that many are looking at as a potential breakthrough.
Based in Slovenia, BetAbram is one of the companies that pioneered commercial house 3D printing and construction 3D printers. The company started working on printers in 2012 and since then continued to develop its cutting-edge technology. Up to date news on the company’s projects are not so easy to come by, but we were able to catch up with BetAbram’s CEO, René Kreissel, to find out about their most ongoing projects and business outlook.
