CT or MRI data from a GE Healthcare workstation can be exported in a form that is ready for 3D printing on Formlabs systems or viewable in virtual or augmented reality in seconds.

The technique uses visible light to control polymers and “tune” their mechanical properties. It also enables so-called 4D printing, by which the 3D-printed object can change shape or its chemical and physical properties and adapt to its...

The L1 printer, the largest format printer produced by Carbon (Redwood City, CA), is now available to order, the company announced at the Formnext additive manufacturing trade show in Frankfurt, Germany.

Munich-based Kumovis showcases the capabilities of its 3D printer with integrated cleanroom suitable for point-of-care applications.

The printer’s patented hybrid augmented polymer deposition process combines industrial material extrusion and functional ink jetting in an office-friendly machine.

The vast majority of manufacturers surveyed continue to view the technology through a prototyping lens. Only 11% consider it to be ready for the production of end-use products.

Medtech startup BellaSeno (Leipzig, Germany), which has developed a 3D-printed resorbable scaffold for breast-implant procedures, has signed an agreement with materials supplier Evonik (Essen, Germany) for the long-term use of its Resomer...

The Felix Bio printer developed by Felixprinters (IJsselstein, Netherlands) combines a tried and tested chassis technology with features designed specifically for medical, scientific and research applications.

Boston-based Lux Research identifies the top 20 game-changing technologies—what plastics-related tech made the list at #3? Hint: It’s not 3D printing.

The collaboration seeks to develop a scalable binder-jetting system capable of additively manufacturing large, finished plastic parts.
