Top 3: Formlabs’ 3D Printing Solutions to Help Turtles Hit By Boats
Sometimes, turtles who are hit by boats develop a condition called positive buoyancy syndrome, also known as bubble butt, which causes a pocket of air to form under their shell. The air bubble makes their back end float, inhibiting the turtles’ ability to swim. To treat these turtles, Mystic Aquarium, Adia, New Balance and Formlabs teamed up to 3D scan, design, and print a solution to create a customized weighted harness for Charlotte, one of the turtles affected by the condition. Watch Charlotte swim again, and find out how the technology could help other turtles in the video!
Top 4: 3D Printing Blood Vessels
According to the British Heart Foundation, heart and circulatory diseases are a leading cause of death in the UK, accounting for 27% of fatalities and around 170,000 lives each year. But groundbreaking research is offering new hope. In this compelling short documentary, follow Dr. Norbert Radacsi and his team at the University of Edinburgh’s School of Engineering as they develop synthetic blood vessels that could revolutionize heart bypass surgeries. This innovative approach aims to enhance patient outcomes and tackle one of the biggest challenges in cardiovascular health. Watch how they are 3D printing blood vessels here:
