Volumetric 3D Printing
-
Volumetric printing, as we reported, has arrived in the form of the xolo xube, but this revolutionary technology already faces contenders for volumetric printing patents. A United States patent filed by Mr. Daniel Clark of Topshelf Enterprises (T3DP) and Southern Methodist University claims technology similar to xolo’s volumetric process. Mr.…

Xolo, a startup based in Berlin, Germany, has developed and presented xube a new system that could be defined as the first commercially available volumetric 3D printer. Let’s not, however, get carried away. While it may be available to reserve for purchase, the system has actually been developed as an…

A Slovenian inventor has been granted a national patent for a new technology that uses magnetic levitation to position powder materials in a volumetric printing space. The patent application which describes the potentially disruptive technology was also recently published by the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO). Volumetric printing, still recognized…

CELLINK‘s rise from a bioink startup to a bioprinting market global leader has been lightning fast. In 2015, I did my first interview with founders Erik Gatenholm (CEO), Hector Martinez Avila (CTO) and Gusten Danielsson (CFO) about the launch of their very first bioink at a time when bioprinting was…

Progress moves fast in the 3D printing industry. So much so that new, disrupting technologies are announced almost every month. However, they can’t all be disrupting and revolutionary. So it happens that when a truly disruptive new approach to 3D printing is announced it may go somewhat unnoticed – or fully…

3D Systems today introduced its latest system for 3D printing investment casting wax patterns: the ProJet MJP 2500 IC. The newly launched system, which follows on the company’s existing ProJet MJP 2500W machine, enables manufacturers to produce wax patterns more rapidly and at a lower cost than traditional manufacturing processes.…

In the ongoing search for strong, lightweight materials, researchers are looking at sea urchins, which have spines made of chalk, and are generally brittle. Ironically, the highly complex three-dimensional structure of sea urchin spines is 70 to 80 percent porous and thus creates an overall stable, strong structure. Studying the…
