News and Insights of 3D Printing and Manufacturing
On August 4, SelfCAD partnered with MyMiniFactory, the cloud-based library of 30,000 printable 3D objects. With this partnership, users can access a library of over 25,000 ready-to-print objects and simply download the object they want without having to create it from scratch. Users can also upload there design directly to MyMiniFactory and be apart […]
Markforged is one of those companies that – like so many others in the 3D printing industry – is so much focused on the quality and the engineering of the products it develops that it does not particularly care about letting the world know they exist. Luckily we occasionally find out about their latest product launch: not just any launch either, but three new, industrial grade composite 3D printing systems known as X3, X5 and X7.
Camber Spine Technologies received 510(k) clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to market its SPIRA Open Matrix ALIF device, a unique, interbody fusion implant consisting of spiral support arches and Surface by Design technology. This clearance marks Camber’s tenth line of spinal implant systems to be released in the US market.
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.
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:
Shiro Studio’s ENEA walking stick is the result of comprehensive research and a collaborative project focused on developing an innovative walking stick which addresses the stigma and flaws often associated with walking sticks currently available on the market.

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.
On 10th August, Shanghai Graphic Digital Information Co., Ltd. (GDI) and EnvisionTEC GmbH co-organized the first EnvisionTEC 3D Bioplotter resellers’ meeting holding at GDI Headquarters.
Shapeways Co-Founder and CEO Peter Weijmarshausen will step away from his CEO role while remaining on the Shapeways board. COO Tom Finn has been appointed interim CEO while the Shapeways board conducts a search for a permanent replacement.
