Now that Sunday is here, it is once again time to look back at our favorite 3D printing videos from the past week! We start off with an important topic, the CDC has published the first in a series of videos for safer 3D printing. A must-see for anyone in the sector! Next, learn more about applications in additive manufacturing with a closer look at how the technologies are being used for spinal fusions before learning more about Daimler Bus and its use of AM. Next, some informative content with a how-to video on speeding up 3D models in SOLIDWORKS as well as a deep-dive into hot isostatic pressing. Happy watching and have a great start to the week!
Top 1: Health & Safety for 3D Printing With the CDC
Safety in additive manufacturing has been a big topic in recent years. Indeed, there has been a growing movement from organizations like the CDC to show both AM professionals and hobbyists the correct measures. Now in addition to various studies on this topic, NIOSH, as part of the CDC, has started a series of videos on health and safety information for 3D printing. You can watch the first video below:
Top 2: Might Oak Medical Is Using 3D Printing for Spines
Additive manufacturing has truly found a foothold in the healthcare sector, with many different possible applications in the field. And now we have yet more proof. Check out the video below from HP to learn how Mighty Oak Medical is using Multi Jet Fusion to manufacture FIREFLY®, a cost-effective surgical navigation solution. This solution will be able to be used for pre-surgical planning, 3D printed anatomical models and surgical guides to help physicians plan and place pedicle screws in spinal fusion procedures. A fantastic application for the technology that really takes advantage of AM’s flexibility and capacity for customization!
