3D Systems Announces FDA Clearance for World’s First 3D-Printed PEEK Cranial Implants
FDA clearance enables wide-spread adoption of 3D Systems self-contained, cleanroom environment-based printing system, the EXT 220 MED, with medical-grade PEEK materials to deliver patient-specific cranial reconstruction solutions 3D-printed PEEK implants using the EXT 220 MED successfully demonstrated in nearly 40 cranioplasties across Europe in recent months.
Formlabs is pushing the envelope of 3d printing speed and reliability with launch of Form 4
Formlabs, the leader in 3D printing, today unveiled the fastest, most reliable 3D printer for professionals with the launch of Form 4 and Form 4B. The new flagship resin 3D printer sets a new standard for additive manufacturing with Formlabs’ proprietary new Low Force Display™ (LFD) print engine, updates to the company’s library of industry-leading resins, new automated post-processing, and an improved user experience.
North America first 3D printed 3-story building with a 3D printed basement near Toronto, Canada. The house stands at an impressive 3.5 stories, approximately 12.5 meters (41 ft) from footing to top roof, of which 3 full stories were 3D printed in real concrete using locally sourced materials. Setting this project further apart is the inclusion of the world’s first 3D printed basement, a common element in many North American homes.
New UK Centre of Excellence for Additive Manufacturing launched
The University of Wolverhampton, 3D printing leader EOS and AMCM (Additive Manufacturing Customized Machines) have joined forces to launch a new UK Centre of Excellence for Additive Manufacturing (AM).
Nottingham University develops new plastic coating to advance 3D printing
Researchers from Nottingham University have developed a new coating for plastic particles used in 3D printing, which increases their functionality and could herald new commercial applications.
DXC Technology gets grant for method for preparing 3d printing material from aluminosilicate powder
DXC Technology has patented a method for creating 3D printing material from aluminosilicate powder derived from igneous anorthosite rock. The process involves heating the powder to form molten material, extruding it through a nozzle, and cooling to create hardened material without the need for additives.
Magnus Metal, a pioneering technology in industrial, high volume digital casting for metal alloys, today announced it has raised $74 million in Series B funding, co-led by Entrée Capital and Target Global with additional participation from Caterpillar Ventures, Tal Ventures, Deep Insight Ventures, Awz Ventures, Lumir Ventures, Discount Capital, Lip Ventures, Cresson Management, Next Gear Fund and Essentia Venture Capital.
