Volumetric 3D Printing
-
3D Printing Business Media has been following the efforts to bring volumetric 3D printing technology to market for some time now. We appear to be in a very exciting period – seeing many technological advancements within this novel technique. Volumetric Additive Manufacturing (VAM), presented as a “near-instant 3D printing technique”,…

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…

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…

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…
