3D micro-architected implants optimize orthopedics Medical

by Medical

As we know by now, additive manufacturing technology has been around for a while and is evolving every day, but design is still the key to unlocking the full potential of this technology. Considering this, researchers at Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) have published their recent work on the optimal design of 3D micro-architected implants. In this work, the researchers push the boundaries of the optimal design of orthopedic implants. The optimized micro-architected implants, which are suitable for additive manufacturing, result in a significant increase in performance compared to a conventional solid implant design.

The World’s First 3D Printed Bike is Now a NFT

by Consumer

In 2014 Dr. James Novak 3D printed the world’s first full-size bicycle frame as a single piece. It went on to win the Dick Aubin Distinguished Paper award at RAPID 2015 and was exhibited around the world over several years, including the Red Dot Design Museum (Essen, Germany) and BOZAR Centre for Fine Arts (Brussels, Germany) with Materialise. The bicycle is now available as a NFT (non-fungible token), another world-first

Oqton and Eplus3D enter dental 3D printing partnership Medical AM

by Business

Oqton, a software provider, acquired by 3D Systems last year, that helps manufacturers increase innovation and efficiency by intelligently automating production, and Eplus3D, a leading global supplier of metal 3D printing solutions, have entered a strategic dental 3D printing partnership. Through this collaboration, both companies intend to enable dental laboratory professionals to increase productivity and provide a better service to their customers. This will be made possible by making Oqton’s AI-powered Manufacturing OS platform available to users of Eplus3D’s metal 3D printers. The combination of Oqton’s Manufacturing OS, and Eplus3D’s printing technology, as well as both organizations’ deep dental expertise, is intended to result in dental solutions that include full traceability and automation.
