MIT researchers have developed a low-cost 3D printed device for testing cancer treatments on tumour fragments. Treating cancer can be a challenging process that is often highly taxing on the patient being undergoing therapies....
Solvay, a leading global supplier of specialty polymers, has broadened its portfolio of high-performance filaments for premium additive manufacturing (AM) applications with the introduction of three medical grade products for use in the healthcare...
Farsoon Technologies – Americas, located in Round Rock, Texas, is pleased to announce the evaluation program of the new HT1001P large-platform additive manufacturing system. The beta-test assessment of the innovative HT1001P Polymer Laser Sintering...
A Canadian research organisation has recently installed a GE Additive Arcam EBM Q10plus machine as it looks to explore the additive manufacture (AM) of patient-specific jaw implants. Quentin Schneider, 3D modeling lab, CHU de...
Biodegradable stents have shown great potential in reducing complications in patients, but they require further study, according to the authors of a paper entitled “3D-Printed PCL/PLA Composite Stents: Towards a New Solution to Cardiovascular...
Inside a facility near the North Shore University Hospital in Manhasset, New York, a new miniature factory filled with 3D printers sits ready to automatically print out models of a patient’s heart or bones...
The incorporation of additive manufacturing into the surgical space is often viewed as a fresh revolution in the surgical space. That’s not altogether unreasonable — notable innovations are still being introduced on a regular...
Summary: Engineers have developed 3D printed devices that can track and store their own use — without using batteries or electronics. Instead, this system uses a method called backscatter, through which a device can...
Researchers at Vilnius University, Lithuania, have succeeded in 3D printing glass-ceramics on a nanoscopic scale. Strong and potentially fluorescent or superconductive, these amorphous materials, and their fabrication via additive manufacturing, facilitates the creation of...
While the impact of 3D printing has often been more prominent in a manufacturing setting, its real-world benefits also greatly impact health care. From custom prosthetics to skin for burn victims, 3D printing is...
