CELLINK, the first bioink company in the world and maker of 3D Bioprinters, is announcing the launch of their latest 3D Bioprinter: BIO X. CELLINK currently offers two 3D Bioprinters, the INKREDIBLE and INKREDIBLE +.
A study which appeared on the ScienceDirect Journal describes the development of a geometry based model for predicting lack of fusion during metal powder bed fusion processes (SLM, DMLS, EBM). The model relies on melt pool dimension, hatch spacing and layer thickness. The porosity (or density) predicted with the model agrees well with reported literature data on PBF processes.
