This week’s Top 5 Videos contain a variety of videos, including videos from Stratasys, HP, Michelin, and more. They display how 3D printing is being used to advance in healthcare, safety, in addition to food. Remember, a new Top 5 Videos is released every Sunday, so don’t miss out on next week’s issue!

1 – Stratasys: 3D printing in surgical planning

This video highlights everything good that is coming from 3D printing. With no way to effectively make models of organs, junior surgeons could not practice well before their first real surgery. This meant they were not as skilled before being in a situation where the risks were fatal. 3D printing allows for better practice, and less fatalities in surgical procedures.

2 – Sculpteo & HP reinvent the bike helmet

Using HP’s Multi Jet Fusion technologies, Syncro Innovation and Sculpteo worked together to reinvent the bike helmet by offering customised helmets based on each person’s head. This allows for a variety of benefits including better fits, and also better hygiene.

3 – Michelin’s 3D Printed Airless Tires

This video is an incredible look into the future. These new Michelin tires are made from biodegradable materials and are made so they are airless, reducing the likelihood of a flat. In addition, they are designed to last longer than normal tires (around 5 years), and are much better for the environment as they don’t end up in landfill once they are beyond use.

4 – Migo 3D Printer

The Migo 3D printer by Makex is designed to be a cheap, versatile 3D printer. Simple to use, the 3D printer allows everyday consumers to plug it in, load of their favorite designs, and print away. At just $149, the Migo 3D printer is affordable too, and may break into the consumer market.

5 – 3D Printed Desserts

Be warned, this video is likely to make you hungry. We’ve recently reported on the 3D printing pastry chef, but here is another side of 3D printed edibles. These chocolates, sweets, and other tasty treats can be 3D printed, which allows them to be created autonomously, and with extreme precision. We predict this to become more common in the next few years.
