#Now, a car powered by whisky residue Scientists in Scotland have become the first in the world to produce biofuel capable of powering cars from residues of the whisky industry.

Edinburgh-based Celtic Renewables plans to build a production facility in central Scotland after manufacturing the first samples of biobutanol from by-products of whisky fermentation.

The company has been awarded £11 million to fund a new plant to make the biofuels. Transport minister Andrew Jones says advanced biofuels have the potential to save at least 60%of the greenhouse gas emissions from equivalent fossil fuel.

He said""The technique could transform the Scottish whisky industry and generate up to £100 million of transport fuel a year."

"The latest biofuels use low value waste products to produce high value fuel and will help power modes of transport that cannot be electrified in the future such as heavy trucks or even aircraft.

#The revolutionary Lily Flying Camera Drone is brought to life thanks to 3d printing May 13, 2015 By Simonit no surprise that some of the most exciting tech to come out in years has been brought to consumers thanks in no small part to 3d printing.

For those involved with product development, this is nothing new-in fact, the term is referred often to as apid prototypingand has been in practice for the past few decades.

Among others who have leveraged 3d printing to help bring their product design to life is Antonie Balaresque,

Of course, a majority of this can be attributed to the quick development stages that have been enabled thanks to 3d printing.

#FDA approves first 3d printed prescription drug, a dissolvable tablet that treats seizures While wee seen a lot of interesting 3d printed medical applications appear in surgery rooms already think about 3d printed titanium implants

or plastic replicas of organs most 3d bioprinted innovations will easily take years before reaching patients.

However, one New jersey-based Farmaceutical company called Aprecia is hard at work pioneering another 3d printed medical application:

3d printed pills that can be taken orally. What more, Aprecia have just been awarded FDA approval for the first of 3d printed drug of its kind, the epilepsy drug Spritam.

The company in question is a relatively young pharmaceutical company based in East Winsor, New jersey, and claims to be the world only company to utilize 3d printing technology to develop drugs.

And as they say in their press release, Spritam is only the first of the 3d printed drugs they are planning to develop.

As the company argues, their new drug could play a key role in treating a variety of seizure afflictions.

does a drug like this need to be 3d printed? Surely epilepsy drugs already exist? Well you would be absolutely right,

and seniors, having an option for patients to take their medication as prescribed is important to managing this disease. nd that where 3d printing comes in.

Aprecia uses a technology they call Zipdose 3d printing which essentially revolves around Powder-liquid 3d printing to create porous structures that rapidly disintegrate

when coming into contact with liquids. Essentially, this creates a very efficient way of delivering high doses of the medication.

these 3d printed pills are (as you can see in the clip below) insanely quick. precia developed its Zipdose Technology platform using the 3dp technology that originated at MIT.

this 3d printed approach to drugs does open up a wide range of options for more customized drugs.

Doctors in the US already have access to a government-sponsored 3d printing repository, through which they can share designs to aid in medical treatment,

and 3d printed drugs could be a welcome addition to that system. In short, Spritam is definitely paving the way for a new generation of 3d printed drugs.

#Made In Space successfully completes 3d printing in vacuum of space, outside the ISS 3d printers have slowly

and very successfully been creeping into the aerospace industry, where giants like NASA are even embracing the technology as a way of manufacturing spacecraft parts on long-term missions in the future.

which was founded with the express focus of zero gravity 3d printing, has announced just that they have concluded successfully 3d printing experiments in the vacuum of space.

To explain Made In Space was founded in 2010 as the first space manufacturing specialist in the world.

To make additive manufacturing viable in space, with the express purpose of broadening the scope of space development.

In their own words, their they have realized over more than 30,000 hours of 3d printing testing, with more than 400 parabolas of microgravity tests.

building and operation of the first 3d printer in space, called the 3d printing In Zero-Ge Experiment.

This Zero-G 3d printer is the first machine to operate in zero gravity, and was launched into orbit on September 21, 2014.

It served as a test bed for understanding the long-term effects of microgravity on 3d printing and the parts as well crucial information for use in future space exploration.

the team since moved on to 3d printing in the vacuum of space outside the ISS. ast month Made In Space successfully completed a round of tests,

proving that their next generation of 3d printers can operate in the vacuum of space, they now announce on their website.

The zero gravity 3d printer used in space. This latest mission is set to be a precursor for the company commercial Additive manufacturing Facility,

which is set to fly to the ISS later this year. e believe we are as little as 18 months away from incorporating the current designs into on-orbit tests,

combined with our experience with microgravity additive manufacturing, show that the direct manufacturing of structures in space is possible using Made In Space developed technologies.

#Scientists develop 3d printed device to help solve cocktail-party problem Engineers are increasingly employing 3d printers to solve complex issues in the field of robotics,

This is again the case with a 3d printed solution for a problem almost as old as robots equipped with microphones themselves:

having become known as the ocktail-party problem However, with a very simple 3d printed solution, scientists from Duke university have now come up with a good,

3d printing offers a fantastic solution. What they have essentially come up with is a large thick, 3d printed plastic disk, featuring 36 openings on its side,

and diverse honeycomb passages leading to a single microphone in the center of the disk.

because the unique 3d printed shapes create variations that can be picked up by the single sensor.

It just shows what you can achieve with a bit of 3d printed prototyping

#Shanghai Children Medical center opens China first pediatric 3d printing medical research unit When it comes to applications for 3d printing in the medical industry,

Chinese doctors have been among the most prominent supporters of the technology as of late and have used it for a myriad of medical-related purposes.

Within the past few months alone, Chinese doctors have used 3d printing to aide in a highly-complex hip-replacement surgical procedure for a 42-year-old woman,

remove a tumor from a 60-year-old woman kidney and to help repair a 28-year-old woman atlantoaxial dislocation condition.

Thanks to the continued success of using 3d printing to aid in surgical procedures the country-along with 3d printing giant Materialise-proudly unveiled their first pediatric-specific 3d digital medical research facility in Shanghai at the Shanghai Children Medical center on Thursday, August 13th.

Among other projects, the new Pediatric 3d printing Unit at the hospital will focus on pediatric medical imaging, digital modelling, 3d fabrication,

and the researching new ways of using 3d printing in a number of clinical applications. According to Kim Francois, a spokeswoman from Materialise, the company will contribute with training for digital modeling and 3d printing procedures, clinical software development and technology support.

While 3d printing has proven to be effective in surgical procedures for patients of all ages it has been especially effective in cases for young children-especially newborns

-whose internal organs are both smaller and more sensitive than adult organs. By creating a 3d printed organ replica in advance of a potentially life-threatening surgery,

doctors can both practice their procedure with the replica as well as use it as a reference during the actual surgery. or example,

when we are working out treatment for a child with congenital heart disease we can create a 3d dissection model of the patient

According to experts from Materialise, a majority of the 3d printing applications for the pediatric unit will focus on complex diseases including congenital heart disease, premature skull formations and congenital bronchial softening.

Assuming that the new Pediatric 3d printing Unit is a success, it will likely only be a matter of time before other hospitals around the world open up their own 3d printing labs,

#3d4md turns solar powered suitcase 3d printer into medical tool for saving lives in third world and on Mars As regular readers will have noticed doubtlessly,

3d printing technology is already steadily making a name for itself as a genuine and very useful medical technology.

But despite all the 3d printed organ replicas, bioprinted innovations and even plastic hand prosthetics out there, the reality is that very few are available to a broad public.

People across the third world have very little access to basic medical care, let alone to 3d printed tools and prosthetics themselves.

But that could be changing in the near future as one Canadian doctor recently founded a startup that is employing 3d printers for medical care in hard to reach places.

Called 3dmd and led by dr. Julielynn Wong, this fantastic initiative uses multipurpose solar-powered suitcase 3d printers that can be used to manufacture all sorts of medical tools in the remote corners of the world and even in space by astronauts.

This inspiring 3d printing venture has been developed by actual public health physician dr. Wong, who realized that 3d printers are making life in the west much easier,

while people in the rest of the world haven even completed previous medical steps yet.

So why not combine the two into a single package? ver one billion people lack access to electricity.

she says. oday it possible to use low-cost 3d printers to make medical supplies locally on demand using solar energy.

Our mission is to use 3d printers to deliver the highest standard of medical care in the most challenging places to those who need it the most.

This fantastic project has been under development for a few years now the first 3d printed tools were tested medically way back in 2013

Recently publishing a medical article called"Solar-Powered Suitcase 3d printer Makes Medical Supplies"in the September issue of the Aerospace medicine Human Performance journal,

the key component in this entire venture is a custom-made and very impressive solar-powered, plug-and-play ultraportable 3d printing system.

While wee seen compact 3d printers before, very few can actually be transported as carry on luggage in airlines by singe physicians.

can take these suitcase 3d printers to any remote village in Africa that hasn even been put on the grid yet. his 3d printing system is capable of making a range of medical supplies,

if one or two of these 3d printers stay behind to enable locals to create their own (medical) 3d printed solutions.

When I started using 3d printers, I realized that this technology could be applied in so many ways to help others.

I began to imagine how doctors could use portable 3d printers to make medical supplies for patients during visits,

the current second edition of the 3d printer has been made entirely with off-the-shelf components. he entire system has to be within the maximum size limits for carry on baggage to allow safer handling of delicate parts

Think 3d printed finger splints handles for scalpels and dental instruments. Even educational anatomy models are no problem at all.

I decided to use solar energy to power my 3d printer to make medical supplies during my simulated Mars mission.

they do already want to encourage everyone to design their own 3d4md solar-powered plug-and-play 3d printer using off the shelf parts p

#More revealed about 3d printed Acetabular Cup formally approved for hip surgery in China Chinese scientists

and surgeons have been at the forefront of 3d printed medical applications over the last few years,

and regular readers will have noticed doubtlessly a lot of 3d printed components being used in surgeries in Chinese hospitals. And last week, we learned that this number is doubtlessly set to skyrocket,

as China's Food and Drug Administration announced that China's self-developed 3d printed hip replacement (joint) has been certified commercially,

new reports are coming in about how remarkable these 3d printed titanium acetabular cups, that have been approved formally for use in China,

the approved 3d printed hip joint prosthesis was developed by Dr. Zhang Ke, Liu Zhong Jun, and Cai Hong of Peking University Third Hospital in cooperation with AK Medical, a Chinese private medical company.

The 3d printer used in the manufacturing of the hip joint was designed by a Swedish company Arcam AB and uses the Electronic Beam Melting (EBM) method of manufacturing,

Depending on the domestic or imported artificial joints used, an operation costs about 50,000-100,000 RMB, something many families cannot afford.

Both predict that 3d printing can reduce that price by a third or even half. Breaking the monopoly with 3d printing should also reduce other prices So how does this 3d printed innovation help them?

Well only the acetabular cup in the entire artificial hip is 3d printed, with the rest not being so very different.

The hip prosthesis is composed of four parts: a ceramic femoral head, a femoral stem, an acetabular cup,

only the Cup is manufactured by 3d printers. Deputy Director at the hospital Cai Hong explains, the acetabular cup is manufactured by the most advanced 3d metal printing technology.

while 3d printing only requires one. Doctors send data to the manufacturing enterprise, where an engineer builds 3d models with it.

Layer by layer, the 3d printer tranforms titanium alloy powder into cups with micro-hole structure,

and encountered a metal 3d printer. From his long-term clinical experience in the medical field Zhang Ke realized that it can be used widely in medical applications.

For the next step, Zhang Ke began leading the Group of Orthopedic Joints team to develop the first Chinese 3d printed hip products.

However, as tests revealed, 3d printing does more than reduce prices. Just a few weeks ago, Cai Hong office replaced an existing Chinese-made artificial acetabular cup with a 3d printed one.

The patient in question was Wang Xiulan from Shandong Province. She walked around with the earlier model for five years

while the 3d printed version is rough and covered with small holes. This structures mimics that of human bones and increases stability while providing a good environment for regrowth.

So far, dozens of patients have received 3d printed hip replacement surgery, and ll the clinical results were very good,

However, 3d printed hip replacement can be used for at least 20 years, he says. While this is all good news,

Plans already exist for 3d printed artificial vertebral bodies and axis, among others, but that will take a while.

while the 3d printed axis is at the clinical trial stage. This will take quite a bit longer than with the hip replacements,

Cai Hong explained. hina's 3d printing implant registration and approval process is relatively long; to get our research and development of artificial hip joints from clinical research finally approved took 40 months,

Also problematic is customized that 3d printed orthopedic implants are restricted still officially in use. Cai Hong expressed regret that, at the present,

adding that he hopes that these 3d printed hip parts will act as promotional pieces within the drug administration system. t is said that at the end of year,
