With AMA: Healthcare 2026 on June 4th putting 3D printing in healthcare under the spotlight, voices from across the industry are weighing in on where the technology is heading. The term “digital twin” has long been synonymous with sprawling factory floors, aerospace assembly lines, and industrial automation, virtual replicas of physical processes generating continuous feedback…
California lawmakers have passed Assembly Bill 2047 out of the Assembly, advancing the amended proposal to the Senate for further consideration. Introduced by Assembly Member Rebecca Bauer-Kahan, AB 2047 would add the California Firearm Printing Prevention Act as Title 21.1 to the state’s Civil Code. The bill was amended in the Assembly on May 18,…
Conexeu Sciences, a preclinical-stage regenerative tissue platform company, debuted on Nasdaq, framing the public listing as a milestone for its mission of “Architecting Bioregeneration” and for the development of a platform designed to support the biological conditions needed to restore lost or damaged tissue. “At Conexeu, we believe regenerative medicine requires more than incremental improvement;…
Neighborhood 91 (N91), the advanced manufacturing campus at Pittsburgh International Airport, is expanding with a new 108,000-square-foot building intended to attract additional businesses and jobs to southwestern Pennsylvania. Officials broke ground on the facility as Allegheny County Executive Sara Innamorato joined Christina Cassotis, chief executive officer of the Allegheny County Airport Authority, which owns the…
Decathlon’s performance running brand Kiprun has launched its first 3D printed shoe, the KIPNEXT 3D, joining a growing list of sportswear companies incorporating additive manufacturing into their footwear lines. The brand, created by Decathlon roughly two decades ago, has positioned itself around technical running gear and athlete partnerships, and is now extending that focus into…
German contract manufacturer toolcraft has partnered with industrial AM quality specialist amsight to overhaul how production data is captured, connected, and acted upon across its AM operations. The collaboration places a particular emphasis on semiconductor-related manufacturing, a sector where documentation, consistency, and process repeatability are non-negotiable. Toolcraft is deploying amsight’s digital quality backbone, a platform…
Scientists at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) have developed an automated control system that monitors and corrects errors during large-scale plastic 3D printing as they happen, no human intervention required. The development could give U.S. manufacturers a meaningful edge in producing large, customized parts with less waste and lower production costs. Industrial-scale 3D printing works…
Scientists at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center have developed a new method for growing large-scale human gastrointestinal tissue in the laboratory, one that spontaneously generates its own functional nervous system without requiring the complex, multi-step assembly processes that have long slowed progress in the field. Published in Nature Biomedical Engineering, the work represents a key…
With AMA: Healthcare on June 4th putting 3D printing in medicine under the spotlight, voices from across the industry are weighing in on where the technology is heading. Orthopedic implant design has progressed steadily over the past five decades, from solid metal blocks to sophisticated lattice structures. Yet revision rates have barely moved, remaining between…
3D Printing for Healthcare is the topic of our next event, AMA: Healthcare on June 4th. Few technologies have moved as quietly, yet as persistently, into clinical spaces as 3D printing. What once belonged exclusively to engineering labs has gradually found its footing in operating rooms, medical schools, and patient consultations. Rand Kittani, resident physician…
Among the emerging applications of 3D printing in healthcare, regenerative soft tissue reconstruction has seen the least clinical progress and carries some of the highest unmet patient need.
