The NIH 3D Print Exchange by the U.S.’ National Institutes of Health is an important resource in the medical sector, providing 3D printable models for a range of biomedical applications. While the platform has primarily functioned as a repository for anatomical models, the NIH 3D Print Exchange now also hosts an important collection of 3D printable files for COVID-19 response.
Desktop 3D printing company MakerBot, a subsidiary of Stratasys, has released the new MakerBot LABS Experimental Extruder for its METHOD 3D printer. The new piece of hardware effectively transforms the METHOD machine into an open material platform, allowing users to work with a broader range of third-party materials.
The emerge of customized medical devices is closely related to the actual clinical needs. After the ...
Sigma Labs, Inc. has announced the launch of a new software-based offering, PrintRite3D Production Series. The quality assurance solution introduces new features such as the Production Dashboard, and offers useful information and AI-driven metrics to production managers. The company says its platform can enhance the speed and agility of the additive manufacturing process by “truncating the design and development process and accelerating the 3D manufacturing machine qualification.”
A team from the Harvard Semitic Museum has 3D scanned a series of three sarcophagi from Ancient Egypt, which are now viewable through 3D modeling platform SketchFab. The effort is part of a broader project that aims to digitize artifacts from Ancient Egyptian civilizations to be shared online for “study and enjoyment.”
Mimaki’s 3D printing business has been intertwined with Israeli technologies from the start. The Japanese company is a leader in large format 2D inkjet technology just like many of the firms involved in the evolution of companies like Objet, which later became Stratasys. After launching the only credible material jetting alternative for Stratasys full color 3D printing, now Mimaki Europe closed an OEM deal with another Israeli company, Massivit (whose founders originated from the Objet team), to launch the new Mimaki 3DGD-1800 large format, high-speed 3D printer.
The Covid-19 pandemic is forcing all social venues – including museums and exhibits – to close their doors to slow down the virus’ diffusion. For the Raffello exhibit, which marks the 500-year anniversary of famous Italian painter’s death, Factum Arte created the spectacular starting point of the exhibition: a rematerialization of Raffaello’s tomb from the Pantheon, with its 19th-century additions removed.
Increasing the accessibility and cost-efficiency of metal additive manufacturing has been a goal of the industry since its early days. Today, as broad industrialization looms on the horizon, there is one company that can be credited as helping to dramatically accelerate this journey: Desktop Metal.
Additive manufacturing company EOS North America has introduced the new INTEGRA P 450 system for mid-range polymer 3D printing. The new selective laser sintering system is available exclusively in North America and is designed to help users move seamlessly from prototyping to serial production.
