News and Insights of 3D Printing and Manufacturing
Since Carbon’s M1 and CLIP technology entered the scene, 3D printing is not just about prototyping anymore. Now, through new breakthroughs in materials and process, major brands such as BMW, Delphi and now Alta Motors can create real, functional motorcycle parts and iterate on their designs at speeds like never before.
Bioverse+ is a global 3D bioprinting community with CAD-models of human organs and tissue models. The platform is open-source and gives you a place to share, develop and download blueprints and protocols. Of all types of tissues, organs and tissue analogues. Bioverse+ is developed and maintained by Cellink, a leading 3D bioink and bioprinter manufacturer.
Jung & Co. Gerätebau GmbH, a specialist in stainless steel components, relies on Additive Manufacturing to ensure that spare parts for beverage filling plants are available more quickly. This approach is very popular in an industry in which “time is money” is more than just an empty phrase. Thomas Lehmann, Managing Director of Jung […]
The new feature-packed release of the solidThinking Design Suite consisting of solidThinking Inspire 2017 and solidThinking Evolve 2017 is now available.
Company’s Commitment to “Open Materials” Ensures Competition, Supplier Choice & Reliable Printing
In May 2016, 3Design New Zealand was approached by a woman who was searching for a company to produce a 3D printed prosthetic arm for her daughter Paige, who was born without her right hand and forearm. We are a 3D printing studio located in Tauranga, New Zealand, and we had never attempted something like this before. The project was ambitious, and despite our uncertainty over whether we could make the prosthetic, the possibility of helping Paige in any way we could was an opportunity we couldn’t turn away.
Roboze looking to expand its business: the 3D printing solutions manufacturer for advanced techno-polymers is now hiring new managers to accelerate its global expansion, now targeting North America and the US market. The decision comes after the company consolidated its technological leadership during the course of 2016.
SmarTech Publishing has just released a new 160-page report showing where the money will be made through the 3D printing composites. This report, “3D-Printed Composite Materials Markets – 2017: An Opportunity Analysis and Ten-Year Forecast,” identifies and quantifies the commercial opportunities presented by implementation of fiber-reinforced composite and nanocomposite materials for 3D printing in major manufacturing sectors. According to the report, total revenues from 3D-printing composites will reach $580 million by 2026.
Stratasys launched ‘The New Ancient’ 3D printed art and design collection, which includes Vespers’ a new series of exploratory 3D printed death masks, designed by Neri Oxman and her team. The collections were unveiled at the public at the grand reopening of London’s Design Museum. Oxman combines design and computation to produce the masks which, in a landmark breakthrough, emulate the resolution and complexity that is usually only found in nature.
Celprogen Inc., a leader in the Stem Cell Research and Therapeutics industry for stem cell research since 2002, successfully finished manufacturing of a 3D bioprinted human pancreas from flexible Poly Lactic Acid (PLA) material scaffold that was populated with adult human pancreatic stem cells. These 3D printed human pancreases were coated and seeded with human adult pancreatic stem cells. The 3D pancreas scaffold was populated with three T225 human Pancreatic Stem Cells 36097-24-T225, and with human adult pancreatic cells 3002-04-T225; the scaffold was coated with ECM prior to seeding the cells. This flexible PLA scaffold allows the seeded pancreatic stem cells to potentially differentiate into an adult functional pancreas. The 3D print was reduced from an adult 18 year old pancreas to approximately 1/5 its original size.
