Since that time I have not seen much in the way of mitigation activities coming from hardware manufacturers, and even fewer willing to discuss the issue.
The San Francisco-based leading cellular agriculture company Memphis Meats presented the world’s first clean poultry, derived from cellular agriculture, including both chicken and duck. While a few companies, including Memphis Meats, have produced clean beef, poultry is an unprecedented milestone for the clean meat industry. While these particular products are not necessarily shaped through bioprinting technologies, the two fields are closely related as 3D bioprinters will be able to create more complex shapes with lab-grown meat products in the future.
When Frustum, a pioneer in generative design and topology optimization software, turned to the GrabCAD Community platform to host a challenge based around its generative design and topology optimization software, Generate, participants were asked to optimize the design of a lightweight, 3D-printed quadcopter.
Print the Future, a new tech startup making waves in the home furnishing marketplace, opened the doors to their 30-day pop-up store in Midtown, New York City. The tech startup offers customers the opportunity to work with world renowned interior designers to design furniture and home goods, and have their designs become 3D printed furniture within 24 hours.
