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,
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 printed this 3d innovation help them?
Well only the acetabular cup in the entire artificial hip is printed 3d, with the rest not being so very different.
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.
In the past, the cup was made through titanium alloy casting, and needed to be melted into liquid and poured in the mold of titanium alloy
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.
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.
in the future custom printing will ensure a perfect fit. So far, dozens of patients have received 3d printed hip replacement surgery,

#Scientists announce a method for 3d printing objects out of living human cells Scientists at the University of Florida developed a way to print detailed soft structures from a 3d printer.
The new 3d printer is able to print traditionally mpossibleshapes, such as a thin tube tied in a knot.
The researchers believe that this technique overcomes several limits of 3d printing, and could be useful for tissue engineering, providing invaluable aid to neurosurgeons and cancer researchers.
Using the gel as a matrix material for 3d printing combats the problems associated with solid and liquid equivalents.
A more solid matrix could easily be damaged by the moving parts of a 3d printer, whilst a liquid one would not be able to support a detailed structure.
Researchers now can inject different materials out of the 3d printer nozzle to draw structures. These materials can include anything from silicone polymers to living cells.
explained Angelini. o 3d printing is no longer a game of making a solid material that has to support itself;
Angelini explains that the concept of embedded 3d printing-a material being printed into a liquid or solid substance rather than empty space-is something researchers have been trying to perfect for years, and for good reason."

#This OLO box will turn your smartphone into a DLP 3d printer for just $99 The great majority of consumers today aren familiar with the processes behind 3d printing,
the world first app-powered smartphone 3d printer, and are about to unleash accessible, affordable, and socially driven 3d printing on the world.
Ever since OLO unveiling at the World Maker Faire NYC, there has been a lot of talk, skepticism, and speculation surrounding how the technology actually works,
Because of the sharing-function of the app, the OLO is also being touted as the first ocial3d printer. he idea behind the development of OLO was to create a cheap 3d printer that anyone could easily use,
regardless of their experience (or lack thereof) with other 3d printers, said Gabriele when asked about the initial concept for OLO. e want to break through the barrier that is holding people back from 3d printing:
namely, easy access. Despite more and more ser-friendly3d printers and 3d printing services hitting the market, the truth is that most people either do not understand the technology,
or believe that they don have the skills to give it a try. Other barriers include cost, and a lack of either space or time to invest in it as a hobby.
OLO wants to truly democratize 3d printing technology for all (or shall we say, all who already own smartphone).
or any other desktop 3d printer. Rather, Gabriele said it is intended for those who are interested in 3d printing,
but not necessarily ready or willing to make a big investment in it. It an entry-level device for the curious, that might just get them excited enough to eventually upgrade to more complex 3d printer models and software.
Given its compact size, weight, and battery power source (standard AA 1. 5v that last for at least 100 printings),
it is also ideal for anyone who is traveling and would want access to a 3d printer on the road.
When asked about the size constraints and actual usefulness of such a small 3d printer, Gabriele was happy to point out that as with most things in life,
size doesn matter. he size constraints will limit what can actually be printed with OLO, but users can print anything from functional replacement parts to art,
like with normal 3d printers. While the build size is small, the detail we were able to attain with the prototype OLO is very fine,
or other artistic models can be made for display or as gifts. Yet another advantage of resin 3d printing in comparison to FDM, for example, is that parts can be printed at full density in almost the same amount of time as hollow
or partially hollow parts. his would allow broken clasps or replacement parts for everyday items to be printed that would have similar properties to regular plastic parts,
Basically, the OLO uses photopolymer 3d printing technology, wherein liquid polymer hardens when exposed to a light sourcehich in SLA
or DLP 3d printing, is either a UV laser or projector, respectively. However, in order to make full use of the smartphone exising features,
the OLO simply replaces expensive lasers and projectors with the phone own LED display. When you place your smartphone underneath the glass surface of the resin container,
the app will make the screen light up in a pattern specific to the object you are printing.
