Our top 1 looks into Xerox&#8217;s new liquid metal 3D printer, the ElemX, purposed to circumvent the risks associated with 3D printers that rely on metal powders. The following video explores a brand new bio-ink that can be used to create 3D-printed bone. While our third video focuses on how the entire <a href=\"https:\/\/www.3dnatives.com\/en\/3d-printing-metals110420174\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">metal additive manufacturing<\/a> process can be accelerated, you can find out how 3D <a href=\"https:\/\/www.3dnatives.com\/en\/top-10-low-cost-3d-scanners280320174\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">scanners<\/a> can speed up design processes in our fourth selection!

Hope you\u2019ll enjoy and have a great Sunday!<\/p>\n<h3>Top 1: Xerox launch Liquid Metal Printer, the ElemX<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Xerox have launched a brand new liquid metal 3D printer, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.3dnatives.com\/en\/xerox-elemx-040220216\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">ElemX<\/a>. Following the discovery of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.3dnatives.com\/en\/risks-associated-with-fdm-metal-3d-printing-190520205\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">several risks associated with metal powders<\/a> used in 3D printing, Xerox decided to gamble on an alternative method of 3D printing metal and acquired the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.3dnatives.com\/en\/xerox-110220194\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">startup, Vader Systems<\/a>. The Naval Postgraduate School in California have already invested in a machine in an endeavour to explore the potential applications of 3D printing for the U.S. Navy. You can find out more about the ElemX&#8217;s capabilities in the video below:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Bpj6uUspCJA\" width=\"700\" height=\"400\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Top 2: UNSW scientists use new bio-ink to create 3D-printed bone<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">A team from the University of New South Wales (UNSW Sydney), a leading research and teaching university in Australia has been researching a novel 3D printing method. The scientists have developed a ceramic-based ink that could allow surgeons to create 3D-printed bone parts using real living cells. This new application of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.3dnatives.com\/en\/future-3d-bioprinting1805201741\/\">bioprinting<\/a>, (methods enabling cellular structures to be made from bioinks loaded with stem cells), marks an important step forward in the industry. Dr. Kris Kilian goes into more detail about this project in the video below.

In fact, researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Environmental, Safety and Energy Technology (UMSICHT) and the Fraunhofer Institute for Building Physics (IBP) <a href=\"https:\/\/www.3dnatives.com\/en\/mycelium-filament-for-sustainable-soundproofing-020220215\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">recently conducted a study exploring the use of mycelium<\/a> (a fungus-based material) as a material for 3D printing. The society also played a crucial role in the development of<a href=\"https:\/\/www.3dnatives.com\/en\/siemens-energy-turbine-blades-metal-3d-printing-030220215\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> Siemens Energy&#8217;s hybrid laser powder bed fusion<\/a> metal 3D printing process purposed for the repair and improvement turbines. This video details a collaborative project started in 2017 by six Fraunhofer institutes. The\u00a0project entitled <em>futureAM &#8211; Next Generation Additive Manufacturing<\/em> is intended to accelerate the additive manufacturing of metal components by at least a factor of 10.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/05_xdXG5xJY\" width=\"700\" height=\"400\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3>Top 4: Using Artec 3D Scanners to Accelerate the Design Process<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.3dnatives.com\/en\/3dnatives-lab-artec-micro-3d-scanner-271020206\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Artec&#8217;s 3D scanners<\/a> have been used in a wide range of<a href=\"https:\/\/www.3dnatives.com\/en\/top5-videos-artec-240220194\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> impressive projects<\/a> spanning <a href=\"https:\/\/www.3dnatives.com\/en\/iconic-black-panther-2-artec\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">several sectors.<\/a> In this video Ben Hartwig, CEO of Delscan, uses the Artec Eva 3D scanner to create a 3D scan of part of a snowmobile in under fifteen minutes. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.3dnatives.com\/en\/3D-compare\/scanner\/eva\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The Artec Eva<\/a> is a structured light 3D scanner is a great choice for making quick, accurate and textured 3D models of medium sized objects.
