Top 1: Some very promising bioprinting projects!
3D bioprinting is the process of combining cells and biomaterials. The goal is to develop tissue or functional organs similar natural body parts that are ready to be transplanted. Fully functional 3D-printed organs are not a reality yet but there are a number of encouraging projects. Watch this video to find out more about these fascinating projects!
Top 2: A 3D printed engine mold
MeiMai Foundry is a company specialized in rapid prototyping and sand and investment casting. One of its projects consisted in manufacturing an electric motor with a very short test and implementation phase. The company therefore turned to additive manufacturing to create a mould in order to be able to cast the necessary metal. This was 3D printed on a VX2000 voxeljet machine with a print volume of 2 x 1 x 1 meter and is based on a Binder Jetting process. In 72 hours, MeiMai Foundry was able to print 60 moulds; in total, the lead time for manufacturing the engine was 3 weeks, a lead time that would be increased to 2/3 months with conventional processes:
