A new study evaluated two additive manufacturing methods for producing either fine or coarse textured titanium implants and compared the strength of bone integration, interlocking, and torque in rats given one or both types of the implants in the distal femurs. The ability to apply this technology to customize implant surface textures and geometries to match the specific anatomy of human amputees is increasingly important as the trend in prosthetic devices moves toward transcutaneous osseointegrated implants rather than socket-cup fitting devices, according to an article published in 3D Printing and Additive Manufacturing, a peer-reviewed journal from Mary Ann Liebert, Inc., publishers. The article is available free on the 3D Printing and Additive Manufacturing website until July 20, 2017.
At the Empa and Eawag NEST building in Dübendorf, eight ETH Zurich professors are collaborating with business partners to build the three-storey DFAB HOUSE. It is the first house in the world to be designed, planned and built using predominantly digital processes. Since one could argue that all building construction is based on additive processes – even the human driven analogic ones of today – than this is as close as it gets to the future of additively manufactured houses.
There are tons of affordable 3D printers out there to make jewels by lost wax casting, but no one is really thinking about the most precious part of jewelry: the gemstones. A Texas inventor set out to change that by launching a Kickstarter campaign for the first affordable, 3D printed gemstone faceting machine, the GemCreator. If you are making jewelry, such as rings, earrings, pendants and other pieces, a gemstone can be a beautiful finishing touch and can be a beautiful centerpiece for your jewelry. Beautiful custom jewelry deserves a custom gemstone.
As of the biggest adopter of additive manufacturing technologies, the change ...
