3D Printing Research

A recent advance in bioprinting from the Collins BioMicrosystems Laboratory at the University of Melbourne could significantly reshape tissue engineering. Researchers at the lab, led by biomedical engineer David Collins, have introduced a new 3D bioprinting approach called Dynamic Interface Printing (DIP). Unlike traditional methods that slowly build tissue layer by layer, DIP employs acoustic waves to guide cells into precise configurations, producing complex human tissues in seconds—a process previously hindered by speed and structural limitations. This breakthrough offers the potential for customized, high-fidelity tissue structures with applications across regenerative medicine and disease modeling. The approach can reportedly achieve 3D printing speeds around 350 times faster than those of traditional bioprinters, reducing the chances of cell damage while maintaining high structural accuracy. Most current bioprinters rely on layer-by-layer construction, which often compromises cell viability due to prolonged exposure times and complex post-processing steps. Once printed, tissue structures typically require delicate… read more

3D Printing

Specifications Before we get into the main review, let’s take a look at the specs of the Einstar VEGA. The VEGA features two different types of scanning technologies in one unit. These are VCSEL (Vertical-Cavity Surface-Emitting Laser – for long range scanning in any environment) and MEMS (for short range scanning of highly detailed objects). As the name suggests, it is wireless, meaning it can wirelessly scan, transfer data (to the cloud), and even project onto a second screen (a smart TV is needed), all over your WiFi network. In terms of physical hardware, it is a lightweight unit, weighing in at 535g, with a comfortable and ergonomic shape, made even more ergonomic by its detachable silicone grip. All of the operations are done with its 6.4 Inch 2K AMOLED touchscreen display and its intuitive, clutter-free GUI. Such operations include scanning controls, one-touch editing, and even clipping data (more on… read more

3D Printing Materials

FormNext 2024 in Frankfurt recorded more than 34,000 visitors and saw new product introductions amid an increasingly consolidated additive manufacturing market. PowderMonkeys, a brand of Launhardt GmbH that specializes in polymer powders for powder bed fusion (PBF) processes, presented two new materials designed to improve performance and sustainability in 3D printing. PowderMonkeys, established in 2021 and a regular exhibitor at FormNext, supplies both desktop and industrial-scale systems. The portfolio is known for materials compatible with selective laser sintering (SLS) and high-speed sintering (HSS) platforms developed by companies such as Voxeljet AG, a provider of large-format 3D printing technology. Existing offerings include Monkey TPU 50, a thermoplastic elastomer with UV resistance, biocompatibility, and variable Shore hardness levels. According to technical data, Monkey TPU 50 exhibits a low refreshing rate of around 20% and a spherical powder shape contributing to stable 3D print processes.

3D Scanners

Swedish software developer Hexagon’s Manufacturing Intelligence division has launched its first handheld 3D scanners, the ATLASCAN Max and MARVELSCAN. These scanners complement the company’s existing inspection devices and offer increased flexibility for various measurement tasks. The lightweight and portable scanners cater to a wider range of environments, both inside and outside factories. This allows engineers and manufacturing personnel to capture 3D data from parts in automotive, rail, and general manufacturing applications, as well as for heritage preservation projects. “Today, manufacturing and engineering teams recognise the value of up-to-date 3D scans throughout the product lifecycle. This means almost anyone might need to perform a metrology-grade scan of a part regardless of their location,” says Pirmin Bitzi, General Manager for Portable Measuring Devices at Hexagon. “Our first handheld 3D scanners enable customers to digitalise parts without worrying about fixturing or environmental conditions and MARVELSCAN’s cutting-edge, integrated photogrammetry system aligns to reference targets… read more
