Coralise is a project by Jessica Gregory which aims to irradiate juvenile coral mortality (99%). The substrates are a unique ceramic material made of calcium carbonate from coral skeletons. This, along with its carefully designed organic form, attracts the coral larvae.
At this year’s gathering of the most magnificent classic cars at Pebble Beach in California, Mercedes-Benz is once again set to present a highlight: the Vision Mercedes-Maybach 6 Cabriolet is a car which, with its sensual, emotionally appealing design and innovative technical concept solutions, defines the ultimate in luxury of the future. At the same time, the two-seater model pays homage to the glorious “automotive haute couture” of hand-finished, exclusive cabriolets. The glamorous cabriolet reinterprets classic, emotional design principles in an extravagant way and combines intelligent beauty with classic, aesthetic proportions and a reduced, technoid appearance – a perfect embodiment of the design philosophy of Sensual Purity.
On August 10th, Shenzhen eSUN Industrial Co., Ltd. Signed a Joint Venture with RESAWearables, Inc. to set up Shenzhen Resun Healthcare Technology Co., Ltd. This new joint venture in Shenzhen will offer 3D laser foot scanning, CAD design and 3D printing kiosks for RESA globally and in the domestic Chinese market as well. It will also provide custom orthotics and terminal sales for the general public. The joint venture will enter Chinese medical-grade footwear market
Renishaw and Aeromet International Limited are collaborating to establish additive manufacturing process parameters and material properties for Aeromet’s A20X high-performance alloy. Following a successful debut at the Paris Air Show, last month, the two companies are working together to optimize the processing techniques for the high-performance alloy on Renishaw metal additive manufacturing (AM) systems. They are also investigating a range of heat treatment regimes to deliver optimum properties in additively manufactured components. The results of these developments will be made available to Renishaw and Aeromet customers.
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.
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.
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.

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:
