News and Insights of 3D Printing and Manufacturing
3D LifePrints is a 3D technology company that provides innovative solutions in emerging and expanding markets. The company is now looking to hire three new professional figures to support it in its primary purpose of supplying medical 3D printing services to the medical sector including the NHS, private hospitals, universities and medical training centres.
The new world of 3D bioprinted organs now includes implanted 3D bioprinted ovaries as bioprosthetic structures that, true to their design, actually ovulate, according to a study by Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine and McCormick School of Engineering. By removing a female mouse’s ovary and replacing it with a bioprosthetic ovary, the mouse was able to not only ovulate but also give birth to healthy pups. The moms were even able to nurse their young.
Global engineering and healthcare technologies company, Renishaw, is attending the British Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons (BAOMS) Annual Scientific Meeting at the International Convention Centre in Birmingham, UK. The conference is taking place between June 28th – 30th, as a platform for surgeons and industry professionals to present the latest research and development in the field. The company will present its latest developments in craniomaxillofacial implants and support a workshop run by three surgeons with whom it has collaborated. Renishaw can be found on stand 15.
The use of 3D printed medical models for pre-surgical simulation is starting to become commonplace. Exact numbers are not available and it may not be implemented in all hospitals yet, however almost all professionals are now aware of the possibilities and advantages it offers especially in terms of reducing time in the OR and for patient recovery.
In the labyrinth-like corridors at the University Hospital of Lübeck, one of the biggest in Germany, visitors tend to lose all sense of time and place. The future of medical technology is just next door, in the 3D printing lab of the Institute of Neuroradiology, headed by Prof. Peter Schramm. Here, Dr. Kemmling, staff neuroradiologist and researcher is using the high-precision stereolithography (SLA) 3D printer by Formlabs to create 3D printed artery models to personalize operations and reduce risks such as stroke.
Millions of people worldwide are impacted by debilitating foot pain, making it difficult to accomplish such daily activities as climbing stairs or taking a walk. Enter 3D printing. Stratasys Direct Manufacturing is now collaborating with Peacocks Medical Group, a leading medical equipment supplier and creator of Podfo orthotics, to maximize 3D printing for large-scale production of custom orthotics. As one of the world’s largest 3D printing and advanced manufacturing service providers, Stratasys Direct is giving millions of new patients access to life-changing orthotics – offering much needed pain relief and improvements in mobility.
