Nortwestern Scientists Implant Functional 3D Bioprinted Ovaries in Mice Bioprinting

by Medical

The new world of 3D bioprinted organs now includes implanted 3D bioprinted ovaries as bioprosthetic structures that, true to their design, actually ovulate, according to a study by Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine and McCormick School of Engineering. By removing a female mouse’s ovary and replacing it with a bioprosthetic ovary, the mouse was able to not only ovulate but also give birth to healthy pups. The moms were even able to nurse their young.

SyFy Pushes 3D Printing with New 12 Monkeys 3D Models on Thingiverse AM Industry

by Consumer

Since it was launched at the beginning of 2016, SyFy Channel’s Thingiverse page has grown to offer 42 3D printable models from its TV properties, including The Expanse, 12 Monkeys and the Killjoys. Not so many: this perfectly reflects that status of “consumer 3D printing” as still a seed with great potential. During the airing of 12 Monkeys Season 3 Event, viewers who owned a 3D printer were urged to download models (in particular the mask from the show’s villain, known as “The Witness” from the Channel’s Thingiverse account.

Impossible-Objects shows its CBAM system for 3D printed composites 3D Printer Hardware

by Technologies

After a long incubation, Impossible-Objects finally showed the first system based on its new composite additive manufacturing technology (CBAM). The 3D printer uses a process different from any other current AM technologies and makes functional, fiber-reinforced parts at production speeds scaling to minutes or seconds. CBAM works with the widest range of materials, such as fiber fabrics including carbon, glass and Kevlar, and polymers including polyamides and PEEK. Its goal is to replace conventional manufacturing techniques while offering greater geometric complexity.
