Top 5 Videos: Eating 3D Printed Food Tailored For Dysphagia Patients

Welcome to our compilation of this week’s most compelling 3D printing videos. We kick off this week’s edition with a taste test and exploration of 3D printed food, tailored for those suffering from dysphagia. Next, we’re given an in-depth look at the collaboration between SCANLAB and Autodesk Fusion. Moving forward, Chris Holman of the Michigan Business Beat series interviews Tom Kelly, President and CEO of Automation Alley. We’re then presented with a video by the NanoTriz Innovation Academy, exploring stem cell therapy and 3D printing’s role in organ transplantation and stem cell research. And finally, we conclude this week’s top 5 with a close look at a 3D printed air cannon, using compressed air to fire high-explosive rounds. Let’s get started!

Top 1: Trying 3D Printed Food Tailored For Dysphagia Patients

First up, the team at Create Digital tries 3D printed food tailored to individuals with swallowing difficulties, aiming to enhance their dining experience. The process involves loading pureed food into a canister, ensuring it meets texture standards before selecting easy-to-swallow shapes for printing. Although the team acknowledges the need for further improvement, they noted smooth texture and enhanced flavor, likening the experience to something from the future, reminiscent of Star Trek! The video concludes by emphasizing the potential for 3D printing technology to aid those with dysphagia and other eating disorders.

Top 2: SCANLAB and Autodesk Fusion Partnership

Our next video highlights the collaboration between SCANLAB and Autodesk Fusion, emphasizing the integration of SCANLAB’s SCANmotionControl SDK with Autodesk Fusion software. Through this partnership, users can gain access to advanced technologies such as CAD-driven toolpathing, precise timing predictions, enhanced hatching strategies, real-time synchronization of lasers, and more. The video also discusses the benefits of the partnership, such as improving laser beam programming, creating end-to-end product solutions, and advancing research in 3D printing.
