DSM adds Somos Taurus 3D printing material for high thermal and mechanical performance 3D Printing Processes

by Automotive

Officially unveiled at AMUG, the new Somos Taurus resin brings the combination of thermal and mechanical performance that until now has only been achieved using thermopolymer-based 3D printing techniques such as FDM and SLS. Somos Taurus is the latest addition to the high impact family of stereolithography (SLA) materials from Somos. Parts printed with this material are easy to clean and finish. The higher heat deflection temperature of this material increases the number of applications for the part producer and user.

Memphis Meats presents world’s first poultry meat from cellular agriculture Bioprinting

by Consumer

The San Francisco-based leading cellular agriculture company Memphis Meats presented the world’s first clean poultry, derived from cellular agriculture, including both chicken and duck. While a few companies, including Memphis Meats, have produced clean beef, poultry is an unprecedented milestone for the clean meat industry. While these particular products are not necessarily shaped through bioprinting technologies, the two fields are closely related as 3D bioprinters will be able to create more complex shapes with lab-grown meat products in the future.
