Color 3D printer manufacturer Rize 3D has shut down 3D Printer Hardware

by Technologies

No one likes to do these stories but they have to be reported: 3D printed manufacturer Rize 3D, a company that was offering a unique mix of extrusion and piezo-jetting for full-color 3D printing capabilities, has shut down. This actually happened a few months ago but, as we said earlier, no one likes to do these stories. The company’s special media accounts have been silent for a few months now and a new company, Palitra, has been established to offer support for existing Rize 3D customers.

Pielleitalia and Roboze Recycle Textiles into 3D Printing Filament

by Consumer

Plastic, and its use/abuse in the global community, is among the most pressing issues of the last decade, where the high degree of competitiveness and performance of the material is opposed to the environmental and health issues. Interestingly, many plastics used in 3D printing are not used solely to make parts: advanced thermoplastics such as nylon (also known as polyamide or PA) and polyester (PET) are also used to make synthetic textile fibers. Even considering that recycling any type of plastic is a lot more difficult than it appears, we’ve been wondering why no one had yet considered recycling textiles such as post-consumer nylon into filaments for 3D printing. Now an initiative by Roboze and pielleitalia aims to do just that.

A New Platform for Customized Medicine via 3D Printing Medical

by Medical

CurifyLabs and Natural Machines have entered a strategic partnership to develop a technology that enables customized medicine production through 3D printing – producing personalized medicines for human and veterinary patients, on-site in pharmacies and hospitals. Compounding is the manual preparation of individualized drug treatments for patients where an optimal treatment cannot be achieved with the currently available medicinal products. There are many talented pharmacists who are able to compound drugs manually but the process is ineffective and lacks quality control.
