News and Insights of 3D Printing and Manufacturing
Coobx, a Liechtenstein based startup, announced that they are introducing a liquid photpolymer based 3D printer on March 9th. The new system will be based on an innovative new photopolymerization approach which has been named LIFT, an acronym that stands for Light Initiated Fabrication Technology.
After the introduction by Ottawa Hospital of an integrated 3D printing facility Canadian health facilities continue to adopt 3D printing. In Halifax, Nova Scotia, a collaboration between pediatric cardiologist Dr. Robert Chen and cardiac radiologist Dr. Deborah Thompson has resulted in the first 3D printed heart model of congenital heart disease (CHD) from IWK radiology images. The model allows cardiac surgeons to rehearse surgical management of complex anatomy before entering the operating room.
Etihad Airways Engineering has received approval from the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) to design and certify 3D printed parts for aircraft interiors, becoming the first airline MRO (Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul) under EASA to hold certification approvals for 3D printed parts flying on Etihad Airways aircraft. With this approval, Etihad Airways Engineering joins the world’s leading aircraft OEMs in designing and certifying 3D printed parts.

3D design and 3D printing are expanding possibilities to think and materialize prototypes and advanced products, opening up new possibilities for innovative solutions. The 3D Design and Print Diploma from the Universidad Tecnologica National, Facultad de Buenos Aires (UTN BA) grants introductory knowledge and basic tools to develop creative processes that integrate three-dimensional design techniques and the materialization of these designs through additive manufacturing. The Diploma in 3D Design and Printing aims to study and put into practice the way in which technology can make a project more efficient. It seeks to provide a solid introductory training in the use of 3D printers, design of specific programs to print and create projects with a strong bias to sustainability and resource management.
Global safety science organization UL, and Ricoh USA, a technology and services company which has recently entered the industrial AM market with an SLS system, are collaborating to provide additive manufacturing education training to both UL and Ricoh customers. The initial goal of the relationship is to promote the proper usage and advancement of Additive Manufacturing (AM) technologies via UL AM training that leverages Ricoh’s proven services and training expertise. The program will initially be held at Ricoh’s US-based dedicated training locations and then will scale to other geographies in the Americas.
