by Consumer

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.

by Consumer

I didn’t mind Prometheus, in fact I enjoyed every single Aliens movie, some more some less. Sure, James Cameron’s Aliens remains my favorite, however the latest teaser for the upcoming Alien: Covenant, the sixth in the franchise, makes me really hope for the best. Not just because it clearly does a “process-placement” operation that 3D printing benefits from, but also because it clearly depicts the direction that manufacturing – including biological manufacturing – is taking and how 3D printing is an absolutely integral part of that.
