It is once again Sunday, which means it is time for the week’s top 5 3D printing videos! First up, 3Dnatives visits Stratasys headquarters in Israel as part of an Inside 3D tour series. Next up, a steakhouse restaurant in Barcelona is paving the way for environmentally conscious meat enthusiasts with a new menu item: the 3D printed steak, and a face mask produced with additive manufacturing is worn by severe burn victims to help with their recovery. Then, the Matsuura Open House, an event that showcases the latest innovations in the 3D printing industry, was recently held at their additive manufacturing facility in Coalville, followed by WAAM3D Ltd, presenting the company’s latest large format metal 3D printer, the RoboWAAM. Happy Sunday, and as always, happy watching!
Top 1: Inside 3D Tour – Visiting Stratasys Headquarters in Israel
Want to know what it’s like to see behind the scenes action at one of the largest additive manufacturing companies in the world?Last week 3Dnatives CBO Filippos Voulpiotis traveled to Israel to visit the headquarters of the multinational Stratasys as well as its machine production site. Yoav Zeif, CEO of Stratasys, gives a warm welcome and provides a tour of the companies corridors and headquarters in Rehovot, Israel. Also featured is a conversation with Ron Scherf, the VP of Healthcare and Consumer R&D, about the newest innovations at one of their PolyJet technology labs and Koren Matalon, the VP of Global Operations, in their production site located in Kiryat Gat. Check out the full video below In this “Inside 3D Tour” series, where we get a sneak peak into the backstage of main companies in the additive manufacturing sector.
Top 2: Steakhouse Serves 3D Printed Meat
Meat enthusiasts who care about the environment can now indulge in a new vegan meat dish in a restuarant in Spain. Bioengineer Giuseppe Scionti and carnivore Josep Sanitjas have teamed up to create a 3D-printed steak that has been said to taste just as good as the real thing. The steak is already being served at El Santuari, a top-rated steakhouse near Barcelona, known for its exotic meats such as wagyu, zebra, and crocodile. Scionti and Sanitjas are revolutionizing the meat industry with their creation, which promises to be a game-changer for those looking for sustainable, plant-based alternatives to meat.
Top 3: Treating Children’s Severe Burns with 3D Printed Face Masks
When a child undergoes severe trauma, few things are more heartbreaking in life. In such cases, Romans Ferrari stands out as one of the best places for recovery. This pediatric rehabilitation center, located near Lyon in France, specializes in treating children and adolescents who have experienced trauma, brain damage, brain tumors, polytrauma, and severe burns. Romans Ferrari has extensive experience in treating severe facial burns, which involves the use of specialized compressive masks to reduce the risk of complications and scarring. However, the traditional method of producing these masks involved an uncomfortable workflow that could lead to post-traumatic stress disorder in children. In this video and accompanying story, we explore how Romans Ferrari has developed a new digital workflow for creating custom compressive masks for treating facial burns, using 3D scanning and 3D printing. A team of doctors, prosthetists, and engineers collaborated to make this innovation possible.

Top 5: WAAM3D’s Newest Large Format Metal 3D Printer
Dr. Filomeno Martina, the CEO and co-founder of WAAM3D Ltd, presents the company’s latest large format metal 3D printer, RoboWAAM. WAAM3D, which was established by a Cranfield University research team, has released a next-generation large format 3D metal additive printing system that can create multi-metre metallic parts in the aerospace, defence, oil and gas, and research sectors, thanks to its sensing hardware and proprietary software. The company has already established itself as a leader in large-scale metal additive manufacturing due to its extensive research on Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM®) since 2006. The introduction of the new RoboWAAM platform significantly expands the potential for large format 3D metal additive printing. The hardware won the 2022 TCT Award in the Non-Polymer category.
