Scottish SMEs Receive £1M for Additive Manufacturing

The National Manufacturing Institute Scotland (NMIS) is funding small businesses in Scotland to explore the benefits of additive manufacturing.  The three-year Additive Manufacturing Business and Technology Support (AM-BATS) project has helped small businesses across a range of different sectors to learn more about how to design and adopt new processes, with the end goal of developing more sustainable products and entering new markets.

3D printed nanocellulose upscaled for green architectural applications 

For the first time, a hydrogel material made of nanocellulose and algae has been tested as an alternative, greener architectural material. The study, from Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden and the Wallenberg Wood Science Center, shows how the abundant sustainable material can be 3D printed into a wide array of architectural components, using much less energy than conventional construction methods.

AddUp and Anatomic Implants Announce FDA 510(k) Submission for the World’s First 3D Printed Toe Joint Replacement 

AddUp, global metal additive manufacturing OEM, and Anatomic Implants announced that they are working together to submit a 510(k) for the world’s first 3D printed toe joint replacement. With the global market for 1st MTP joint reconstruction being $500M+ annually, the market is underserved with very few products, none of which are anatomic or have the potential to support bone-in growth as well as the Anatomic Great Toe Joint.

3D printing technology for tissue: Bayreuth researchers combine hydrogels and fibres in a new technology 

Prof. Dr Leonid Ionov and his team at the University of Bayreuth have developed a new type of 3D printing technology that combines hydrogels and fibres. The innovative process, combined in one device for the first time, enables the production of constructs with fibrous structures and uniaxial cell alignment. The research results, published in the journal “Advanced Healthcare Materials”, harbour potential for the artificial production of biological tissue.

Vitesse Systems Makes Strides in Additive Manufacturing, Delivering First Space Hardware 

In a significant milestone, Vitesse Systems announced the successful delivery of its first additively manufactured satellite antenna, integrated into the Tomorrow-R1 satellite, marking a groundbreaking achievement in commercial weather radar satellites.
