In the 8 days since Colorado quarantined, my research lab, Inworks, formed a group of volunteer makers and organizers to produce PPE for hospitals. In these 8 days, we went from a group of 12 people…

(“This was originally posted on 3dheals.com”) Andrew Hudson –Soft Is Hard In the first part of this article series it was posited that although 3D bioprinting is approximately ten years old, it is already an area of major scientific hype despite its translation to the clinic remaining highly limited. The reason for this lack of translation was suggested to be technological…

(“This was originally posted on 3dheals.com”) Vidya Chamundeswari Narasimhan 3D bioprinting is defined as “the construction of tissue constructs using a set of techniques that transfer biologically important materials onto a substrate with computer-aided, specialized 3D printers.” The arena of bioprinting, even though young and evolving, has established a niche…

(“This was originally posted on 3dheals.com”) Milan Brandt Additive manufacturing (AM) refers to methods that generate three-dimensional structures layer by layer. There is a range of AM technologies each compatible with the specific form of the raw input material that may be in liquid, metal and polymer powder, filament, and…

(“This was originally posted on 3dheals.com”) Zsolt Pásztor Titanium as implant material has already been used in dentistry for several decades. However, its use for dental restorations has been limited due to several reasons, but primarily due to difficulties related to its fabrication. 3D printing combined with anodization opens up new prospects for the application of titanium restorations. …
