Additive Manufacturing Certification for Medical Devices: An Operational Framework for Effective Qualification

Additive Manufacturing Certification for Medical Devices: An Operational Framework for Effective Qualification

The certification of medical devices produced with additive manufacturing requires an operational framework that integrates regulatory requirements from the design phase. This approach, called “design for certification”, reduces delays and late reviews, turning compliance into a competitive advantage. It is fundamental to qualify the 3D printing process with documented proof of rep

How Lignosulfonate-Based Industrial Ink Works for Recycled 3D Printing

How Lignosulfonate-Based Industrial Ink Works for Recycled 3D Printing

New 3D printing ink based on lignosulfonate, a by-product of the paper industry, enables room-temperature processes without solvents or post-treatments. Composed of 70% waste material, it is recyclable up to nine times while maintaining high performance, promoting a circular economy in industrial additive production.

Sustainable materials in action: how the industry is implementing bio-based solutions on a large scale

Sustainable materials in action: how the industry is implementing bio-based solutions on a large scale

The industry is implementing bio-based sustainable materials on a large scale, integrating responsible agricultural supply chains, technological innovation and circular economy. Projects such as Pragati, Bio.3DGREEN and Virtucycle demonstrate how sustainability and industrial performance can coexist, thanks to strategic partnerships and standardization.

Self-produced design without compromise: the True Iconic Design case

Self-produced design without compromise: the True Iconic Design case

There's a prejudice that's hard to die: 3D printed products have an inevitably compromised aesthetic. True Iconic Design overturns this logic by building sculptural home accessories where the production technology disappears completely — and only the design remains.

Part Identification via CAD without ML Model Retraining

Part Identification via CAD without ML Model Retraining

A new innovative method enables the automatic identification of 3D printed parts directly using CAD models, without the need to retrain machine learning models. Developed by KU Leuven, Materialise, and Iristick, the system leverages geometric representations and few-shot learning techniques to classify new parts quickly and efficiently, reducing times and
