Stratasys makes strategic investment in Axial3D Medical

by Medical

Med-tech startup Axial3D has announced the closing of a $15 million investment round led by a strategic investment of $10 million from Stratasys Ltd. (NASDAQ: SSYS), a leader in polymer 3D printing solutions. This is Stratasys’ first investment in Axial3D. The two companies also will be providing a joint offering to make patient-specific 3D printing solutions for hospitals and medical device manufacturers more accessible so it becomes a mainstream healthcare solution.

The year of the binder Additive Manufacturing

by Technologies

Metal binder jetting technology, now also known by the acronym MBJ, is, at the same time, the first and the newest opportunity for binder-based metal AM processes. Invented at MIT in 1993, the technology uses an inkjet printhead to apply binder to a bed of metal powder and form green parts which are similar to parts produced by metal injection molding (MIM). These parts then undergo a series of post-process (which differ for each specific technology), including sintering, to deliver final parts.

World’s tallest on-site 3D printed building completed in Saudi Arabia Construction 3D Printing

World’s tallest on-site 3D printed building completed in Saudi Arabia Construction 3D Printing

by Architecture

Europe had it first 3-story 3D printed building made in Germany by PERI using COBOD technology in 2021, and now Asia also has one. While North America may lead the development in terms of the amount of new 3D printed buildings, Europe and The Middle East are clearly leading the way in the use of 3D construction printing technology to create larger and larger buildings. With its 9.9 meters in total height, the Dar Al Arkan villa in Saudi Arabia is the tallest on-site 3D printed building in the world.

Optical glass fiber optimized using 3D printing Electronics

by Business

An interdisciplinary team of researchers from Korea, Australia, Great Britain, and Germany – with the participation of the Leibniz Institute of Photonic Technology (Leibniz IPHT) – were able to, for the first time, optimize an optical glass fiber in such a way that light of different wavelengths can be focused extremely precisely. This level of accuracy was achieved by 3D nanoprinting an optical lens, which was applied to the end of the fiber. This opens up new possibilities for applications in microscopy and endoscopy as well as in laser therapy and sensor technology.
