Digital Anatomy Creator Software Further Advances Medical Modeling

by Design

Stratasys continues to enhance anatomic modeling solutions for healthcare providers through the introduction of a new software module, Digital Anatomy Creator, for Stratasys Digital Anatomy 3D Printers. The new software allows users to easily manipulate material formations and customize the internal structures of their prints to achieve patient-specific anatomic models that are a direct replication of a patient’s pathologic and biologic anatomy.

Voestalpine Starts Operating Giant Sand 3D Printer for Steel Casting

Voestalpine Starts Operating Giant Sand 3D Printer for Steel Casting

by Technologies

Austrian company voestalpine has been engaged in 3D printing with metals for many years, mainly as a provider of metal 3D printing services and metal powder materials for PBF and DED technologies. These metals are already being used at its own 3D printing and research centers around the world. Now the steel and technology Group has started operating a giant sand 3D printer for heavy steel castings at its site in Traisen, Lower Austria. However, a unique and interesting aspect is that the machine is not from European and US leaders such as voxeljet and ExOne but from Chinese company Kocel Machinery.

The integration of 3D printing processes into architecture is no longer a novelty. The advantages that additive manufacturing offers architects are also widely known. Complex geometries can be realized more easily, costs can be saved, and functionalities can be integrated directly into designs and construction plans. This integration of functions, however, can be taken even further. The Meristem Wall, a project at Lund University led by two Swedish innovative architects, David Andreen and Ana Goidea, who formed the bioDigital matter lab, uses voxeljet sand binder jetting technology to take the wall’s functionality to a new level, without compromising on aesthetics.

by Architecture

Dutch technology provider CyBe Construction and Curaçao concrete expert Betonindustrie Brievengat (BIB) are joining forces for a strategic partnership. At the end of September, three operators of BIB will be trained by the team of CyBe to operate the purchased 3D printer. This is through a 10-day on-site training during which the first two buildings will be printed in the island of Curaçao, the first-ever 3D construction printing initiative in the Caribbean archipelago. These two buildings will serve as office space and café in Willemstad, the capital city of Curaçao.

The market for construction 3D printing continues to expand around the world and especially in Europe, where Swedish startup ConcretePrint (KonkretPrint AB) has unveiled the country’s first 3D printed home. The young company completed the inaugural structure in June 2021 at an industry plot in Tumba, Sweden. The project was undertaken with financial support from the Swedish Energy Agency.
