News and Insights of 3D Printing and Manufacturing
Bioprinting startup Brinter has today announced a partnership with LED Tailor to introduce the new Spectral Blue disinfecting blue light feature embedded in its multi-material 3D bioprinting solution Brinter. The system enables the safe production of e.g. tissue models and drugs, and minimizes the need for separate cleanrooms, making bioprinters more portable and safe.
Incus GmbH, an Austrian 3D-printing manufacturer specialized in Lithography-based Metal Manufacturing (LMM), closed a Series A investment round in Q4 2021, also including existing investor AM Ventures. The company is also bringing onboard industry veteran Adrian Keppler, former CEO of world market leader in Powder Bed Fusion systems EOS GmbH, as an investor and growth consultant.
Nanoscribe and CELLINK, two BICO companies, today jointly unveiled the Quantum X bio, a revolutionary system as part of the Nanoscribe Quantum X platform providing researchers with a very accurate 3D bioprinter. The Quantum X bio is the first-of-its-kind bioprinter enabling submicron printing resolution. Powered by Two-Photon Polymerization (2PP), the Quantum X bio is the premier tool for miniaturizing bioprinting to redefine the development of complex tissue or cell scaffolds and of advanced biomedical applications.
DigiFabster has just released an eCommerce platform for manufacturing businesses to take their sales online. The plug-and-play, white-label, software-as-a-service allows customers to upload models and place orders, and it helps manufacturing shops of all sizes to increase their revenue in a rapidly changing industry.
Through a new partnership with French 3D printing specialist KREOS, Swiss SLS manufacturer Sintratec is expanding its sales and distribution network in Western Europe. As a result, KREOS becomes the first distributor for the Sintratec S2 system in the French market.
Wayland Additive signed a partnership agreement with HTL Co Japan Ltd, which will see the latter operate as a distribution partner of Wayland Additive NeuBeam metal 3D printers in Japan, South Korea and Taiwan.
When it was first presented, the MIT Self Assembly Lab’s liquid-in-liquid 3D printing process received an enormous amount of press coverage and visibility. I have to admit that we were skeptical about it. Then BMW started to play with it and demonstrated that Rapid Liquid Printing technology held great promise for rapid elastomer applications in the automotive segment. That’s when we began to understand the technology’s potential. Now BMW got even more serious with it and, through its BMW i Ventures (which has funded other successful ventures in AM such as Desktop Metal) led an investment in the seed financing round of Rapid Liquid Print (RLP), and its gel-printing technology. RLP uses industry-standard materials, such as soft rubber, silicone and foams, to produce soft, flexible products without retooling or post-processing. Also participating in the round is MassMutual through the MM Catalyst Fund (MMCF).
