J5 MediJet 3D printer’s multi-material, multi-color capabilities enable surgeons to produce realistic models to plan complex surgical procedures, improving planning, training and patient outcomes

France-based Regional University Hospital of Brest (CHU de Brest) is witnessing substantial improvements in pre-surgical planning procedures following the implementation of a new 3D printer by Stratasys’ partner-reseller, Cylaos.

In this video, Dr. Gijs van Hellemondt and Dr. Maarten Spruit from the Sint-MaartensKliniek in Nijmegen perform hip revision surgery on a 60-year-old rheumatoid patient who has had several surgeries on both sides. The surgeons used the personalized Materialise aMace implant system for this complex revision case.

Over 20 years ago, OrthoView formed under a collaborative spirit that has survived to this day. With this attitude, they have developed innovative features driven by surgeons' need for joint replacements, trauma, and spine procedures. In this blog, we'll go over a few formative moments in the development of OrthoView.

Brinter® Bioprinting Solutions include over 60 3D-printed parts using HP Multi Jet Fusion technology, making up 75% of all the custom-made medical equipment 3D parts found in the machine.

Introduction

Brinter®, a trailblazing Finnish bioprinting company, provides comprehensive 3D bioprinting solutions and services for the MedTech industry.

Brinter has been developing the granulate-based multi-material 3D printing process as part of the EU Horizon2020 project Novum. The increased concern of environmental issues and technology development has led to growing interest in developing novel, sustainable, yet high-performance materials for industrial additive manufacturing (AM) and for a wide variety of applications such as electrical insulation components and parts for the automotive, marine and medical industry. AM enables rapid and cost-effective manufacturing of complex and lightweight parts without any expensive tools such as moulds.

Andreas Falk, COO of Erler Zimmer, an expert company in anatomical model-making, discusses the use of 3D printing and how it has helped revolutionise their industry.

Historically, the use of cadavers has been paramount in the effective teaching of anatomical science and medicine. How better to understand anatomy than to dissect and examine that of a real body, however, in recent years it has become apparent that 3D printing holds the potential to revolutionize medical education.

Fast & reliable production of cell-culture device for IVF with new material and NanoOne-printer

A novel material for 2PP 3D-printing will contribute to a game changing innovation in the in vitro fertilization (IVF) market. UpFlow, a photopolymerizing material developed by UpNano GmbH (Austria), allows the fast and precise 3D-printing of micro-environments for a novel type of dynamic cell culture.

Liqtra GmbH is creating a new way to increase the productivity of the FFF printing process without higher speeds or nozzle diameters with the introduction of its latest 3D printer with multi-nozzle technology.

At Formnext, Lithoz GmbH presents concrete answers to how 3D printing will disruptively change the ceramic industry. Among other things, the Austrian company with around 125 employees is showing a bioresorbable ceramic material for patient-specific bone implants for the first time.

Provider of ultra-high resolution 3D printing becomes sustaining member of industry group MIT.nano

Carbon, a leader in 3D printing technology, today announced that its platform for bioresorbable elastomers, currently in development, has proven its biocompatibility in vivo[1]. All samples were found to be non-toxic and have a controllable absorption time. This latest milestone demonstrates the potential of the elastomer for the development of biomedical mesh applications such as soft tissue repair, wound dressings and nerve conduits.

3D printing in medical - providing better patient outcomes
The hybrid conference for decision-makers and experts brings together the entire value-added system attracted to 3D-printed medical devices. Doctors, hospital representatives, medical technology manufacturers, licensing authorities, and health insurances will have the opportunity to connect with leading software providers, material suppliers, printer manufacturers, and service providers to discuss the question: How to advance additive technologies to succed in its medical application. At the two-day conference, we expect 42 exhibitors and sponsors, 280 attendees, and 40 speakers.
