The Industrial Research Center of Quebec (CRIQ) recently acquired an Arcam EBM Q10plus 3D printer. It is an industrial machine based on electron beam melting technology. This acquisition should allow researchers to accelerate the development of lower jaw implants. Plus further transform the…

This year alone in the United States will more than 266,000 women be diagnosed with breast cancer. This disease is the one that attacks most women in the world, and often leads to a mastectomy. This process can be painful and difficult,…

At the University of Utah, a team of bio-medicine engineers has developed a method for 3D bio-printing human tissue. In particular 3D bio-printing ligaments and tendons. They modified a conventional 3D extrusion printer and used stem cells extracted from adipose tissue. A…

Youbionics is a company of Italian origin that became known a few years ago when presenting a bionic prosthesis. Which gave it a spot on our ranking of the best 3D printed prostheses. From this development they have recently unveiled their new…

A team of researchers from the University of Sydney and the University of Wollongong have developed iFix. A pen that through special ink can bio-print a cell structure to help treat eye injuries. They received $ 1.1 million in funding from…

3DHEALS is a platform for 3D printing and bioprinting specialised in the health sector. This platform is already known for its different events in the USA and has joined up with partners like IN (3D) USTRY. Several European countries has also…

Medical treatments have gotten a long way over recent years. One of the technologies adding to this progress has been in the form of 3D printing. With 3D technology in the medical industry, area such as bio-printing is getting us…

A team of researchers from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) of Maryland in the United States announced the development of a new 3D printing software tool. A tool that can help in the creation of 3D printed breast phantoms. These…

Implant manufacturing has never been so fast: thanks to 3D printing, the creation of medical devices is simpler and more patient-friendly. NuVasive has also turned to 3D technologies and specialised in the creation of spinal implants. Today she is looking…

University of Minnesota researchers have reportedly successfully printed 3D electronics directly on human skin. They claim to have produced functional electronic components on the back of their hands with a low-cost, portable desktop 3D printer. A most surprising advance, the…

3D printing is increasingly used in the medical field, whether for research work, to create fabrics using bio-printing technology or to design custom prostheses and orthotics. Some players in the sector are developing innovative solutions using 3D technologies, allowing patients…

It is accepted that additive manufacturing disrupts many modes of production, although it is still difficult to compete for the moment with certain conventional methods, the main reason being speed is still considered too slow. 3D printing of large series…
