The applications of 3D printing in medicine are very varied. In this sector, we have seen great projects that make use of technology to improve the daily lives of patients and even save lives. Among these uses, we can find…

You don’t have to be an engineer with extensive technical knowledge to come into contact with microfluidics and their applications. The aim of microfluidic systems is to control small quantities of liquids in tiny networks and channels, and to discuss…

Could you imagine a world where it would be possible to 3D print organs or tissues directly inside your body? Although this might sound like the most outlandish science fiction, researchers at Duke University and Harvard Medical School may have…

The additive manufacturing sector is no stranger to the ups and downs of market trends, with the life cycles of companies often meeting with premature ends, mergers, takeovers, and more. When even some of the largest and most established companies…

3D printing has shown itself to be one of the most promising technologies in the medical sector thanks to its ability to create customizable solutions. This has made it especially popular for the creation of prosthetics and orthotics, which obviously…

According to a report from the International Federation of Pharmaceutical Manufacturers and Associations (IFPMA), in 2022 combined “direct, indirect and induced effects” of the global biopharmaceutical industry led to a contribution of $1.838 trillion to the world’s GDP with spending…

Founded in 2016, Nanochon aims to facilitate cartilage replacement and repair for patients suffering from knee injuries. It relies on 3D printing technology, specifically extrusion, to manufacture an implant that replaces lost or damaged cartilage. In this way, Nanochon offers…

Within the realm of medical 3D printing, we often discuss the value of plastic filaments, photopolymer resins, and silicone technologies that can assist with the comfort and rehabilitation of patients receiving treatment. However, one material that must not be overlooked…

Hair is a tricky subject – always desired on the head where it thins out over the years while fought against and declared superfluous on other parts of the body for aesthetic reasons. In this respect, nature is more intelligent…

Whether on two legs or four, and regardless of fur, feathers or hair, advances in medical 3D printing have been benefitting humans and animals alike. The veterinary world in particular has seen many 3D printed prosthetic limbs and parts with…

The research and development of robotics is growing in line with its respective areas of application and requirements. In particular, soft robotics is on the rise as robots made of soft materials enable elastic deformations and minimize hazards that often…

Within the realm of medical 3D printing, the possibilities opened up with technologies such as 3D bioprinting have been steadily emerging from theory into practice. Some of the most recent work being done around the world includes the ability to…
