Additive manufacturing can be a transformative production resource if you apply calculated intentionality and consider its use early in the design cycle.

Highlights at the Fakuma stand include thermoplastic composites, glass-replacement materials, bio-based feedstock, and a new recycling technology for polyamide.

The partnership enables Clarkson College to manufacture FDA-cleared, 3D-printed, patient-specific devices onsite and make them accessible to healthcare facilities across the region. 

The survey commissioned by Jabil also found continued growth in the use of 3D printing for production parts.

Report notes that automated density determination developed by Dimensionics Density excels in repeatability and traceability.

Theradaptive’s naming of 3D Systems as its exclusive 3D-printing partner is said to represent a “technological convergence” of medical additive manufacturing and novel material-binding regenerative therapeutics.
