Manufacturing SLA 3D printing with photopolymer resins requires attention to chemical risks. Material selection, operational safety, and disposal are fundamental for health and compliance.
Manufacturing Post-processing is crucial in stereolithography to ensure safety and regulatory compliance. Stages such as washing and post-curing eliminate chemical residues and complete polymerization, ensuring mechanical properties and biocompatibility. The use of validated systems and low-risk solvents improves operational efficiency and safety.
Innovations The choice of materials for medical implants requires a balance between biocompatibility, durability, and costs. Titanium, PEEK, and bioresorbable materials like magnesium offer different solutions with specific advantages. Innovations such as TPMS structures and AI improve bone integration and reduce surgical times. Customization allows for better results, even with higher initial costs.
Innovations 3D printing is revolutionizing dentistry, enabling the rapid and customized production of dental devices directly in the office. Thanks to technologies like SLA, DLP, and PolyJet and biocompatible materials, it is possible to create crowns, surgical guides, orthodontic models, and prostheses in shorter times, with greater precision and lower costs compared to traditional methods. The integr
Innovations Surgical planning with 3D anatomical models is revolutionizing medical education, offering realistic and personalized simulations for surgeon training. Thanks to multi-layer printing technology and radiological data, it is possible to faithfully recreate human tissues, allowing for simulated interventions without risk to patients. Models, used in university and cli
Manufacturing Formlabs announces a leadership change with Rob Willett joining the board, while Carl Bass leaves after eight years. Willett, former CEO of Cognex, brings expertise in automation and machine vision, marking a strategic shift for the company aiming to expand its influence in professional additive manufacturing and prepare for a potential IPO.
Innovations 3D printing revolutionizes fashion: rapid prototyping, custom-fit garments, and sustainable on-demand production. Challenges regarding materials and comfort remain, but the future is personalized, distributed, and zero-impact.
