Top 5 Videos of the Week: Bone 3D printing and more!

This week we found the top 5 videos about 3D printing and the way additive manufacturing is shaping our society. The technology has infiltrated many sectors, from medical to automotive! Check out our selection of the week to keep up with the innovations! This week we touch on bone 3D printing and much more! If you enjoy these, you can view even more 3D printing videos on our Youtube channel. Hope you’ll enjoy and have a great Sunday!

Top 1: Is 3D printed bone the future?

The founder of Particle 3D, Casper Slots, discusses in this TEDx Talk how 3D printed bones can restore and recreate patient’s anatomy for optimal aesthetics and functional outcome. We’ve discussed bone 3D printing on 3Dnatives before, but most projects were still at the research stage, initiated by university research teams. On the other hand, this medical technology startup develops thanks to 3D printable bioinks composed of beta-tricalcium phosphate personalised implants that could help regenerate bone in patients. Throughout his presentation, Casper Slots aims to demonstrate the revolutionary technology that underpins bone 3D printing and how it can be used to transform a patient’s experiences of trauma and create a stronger sense of responsibility for surgeons.

Top 2: 3D printed car parts for the CUPRA Leon Competition

The Spanish car manufacturer, CUPRA is organizing its CUPRA Leon Competition, for which it is turning to 3D printing for some parts. More precisely, the door mirror, air intakes and cooling intakes have been produced with state-of-the-art HP Multi Jet Fusion technology. Multi Jet Fusion technology is similar to Binder Jetting technology and enables multicolour parts to be created. In the case of CUPRA, using additive manufacturing for some of their car parts allowed to test their parts more efficiently as they were very quick to develop. Check it out!
