Bioprinting is the process of producing biomedical items using 3D printing technology that mimics natural tissue.This is according to Wikipedia’s definition. It will be a game-changer in the treatment of tumours, according to researchers in Tel Aviv, Israel. And why is this? A question with an amazingly quick fix. By […]
Purdue University’s College of Pharmacy, a public research university in West Lafayette, Indiana, and Aprecia Pharmaceuticals, LLC, a global leader in 3D pharmaceutical manufacturing, yesterday announced a partnership between the two entities. The collaboration seeks to advance the technology and science of 3D-printed pharmaceutical equipment and medications. Technological advancement in bio-printing […]
The US Army has been making strides to incorporate 3D printing into their workflow like using Bio-printed organs. A few weeks ago we reported how Marines in the III Marine Expeditionary Force in Okinawa were using a 3D metal printer to facilitate repairs. Recent news about Military strides focuses on […]
The development of 3D printing applications in the medical field is progressing at a steady rate. Breakthrough findings are being revealed almost every day. The latest of such developments is the development of a ‘bio-ink’ for three-dimensional (3D) printed materials. The technology could one day serve as scaffolds for growing […]
New research from Louisiana State University (LSU) has innovated and developed a new way of 3D printing polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) medical devices. The technique makes possible the production of medical devices using 3D printing ranging from bone grafts to stents. The development also makes possible the production of a wide […]
I’m always talking about 3D printing as the future of prototyping and manufacturing but what about medical 3D Printing? Medical 3D printing begun with devices such as hearing aids and arm prosthesis. Now we count on 3D printed models for study in surgical cases and 3D printed bone replacements. Another […]
