Will support structures make or break these #3Dprinted #hearts? Is #SLS a winner for #medical3dprinting? The author thinks so https://buff.ly/3dHBXna @Sinterit @3dpbmPulse While SLS 3D printing has many advantages—including material choice and print accuracy—one of the biggest benefits it offers is support-free printing. Using other 3D printing methods, like FDM and SLA, additional structures are generated to support the part’s geometry as it is printed. These support structures must then be removed using mechanical or chemical processes, which adds substantial time to overall production and can influence part quality.
#repost @anatomy3dprints This rib cage model is derived from a high resolution cadaveric CT scan and shows in detail the anatomy of the ribs, sternum, cartilage and thoracic vertebrae.
The model along with many other highly detailed anatomical models from real medical scans can be downloaded as a high quality STL file from my page at Embodi3D.com. These are ideal for 3D printing among other applications.
I can also develop custom anatomical models for your 3D printing endeavours. Get in touch to discuss.

New bioprinting technique allows for complex microtissues
Bioprinting is currently used to generate model tissues for research. New bioprinting technique enables bioprinting of spatially complex microtissues.

New IBT #3dprinting #Resin Enables Faster, Easier Bracket Placement @formlabs https://buff.ly/3slZq15 This Class I compliant resin was tested rigorously by Formlabs and industry experts. Beta testers liked the material’s accuracy, printability, and easy chairside use. Dr. Lisa Alvetro, an orthodontist in private practice in Sidney, Ohio, USA, beta tested the resin before its release. “Clinically, I found indirect bonding trays printed using Formlabs IBT Resin to be accurate, easy to place and remove,” said Dr. Alvetro.

Cybersecurity for 3D Printed Medical Devices (Guide)
On Jan 21st, 2021, we invited four legal and technological experts from world-class institutions (Identify3D, NYU, MedCrypt, Duane Morris ) to present their perspectives on the future landscape of cybersecurity for 3D printed medical devices. Given the nascent nature of our field, many in the healthcare 3D printing ecosystem have not considered cybersecurity as the number one priority in their product design or adoption, and that is why 3DHEALS organized this event to lay the foundation of this likely important conversation. The cyberattack has made multiple headlines this year, and not in a good way. Major headlines related to medical device malfunction or cybersecurity breach in the healthcare system and 3D printing space will happen with certain, and it's just a matter of when and how. I have compiled the important takeaways from the webinar, relevant resources, and data into this guide. Hopefully, this will at least inspire you to learn more and start critical conversations. Full event speaker biographies can be found here.
Metal Lattices for Medical Implants: Fatigue Performance Optimization
Metal additive manufacturing (or metal 3D printing) is now a well-established and mature technology, used globally for the production of end-use metal parts in various industries. In medical applications, the major advantage of metal additive manufacturing is found for custom and patient-specific implants and medical devices. The patient-specific geometry ensures the best possible fit for the patient, improving the healing time and improving the success rate. A second major advantage is the possibility to create porous metal structures as a part or whole of the implant. These porous structures are also called cellular or lattice structures. These intentionally-designed or “architected” cellular structures are beneficial for implants for a few reasons: 1) They can be designed to better match the required mechanical properties (to have effective properties more similar to that of the adjacent bone, compared to solid metal). 2) Their porous nature is beneficial to the flow of nutrients and vascularization, hence enhancing the bone growth process. And over the longer term, they allow bone ingrowth into the open porous structure, for a better bone-implant attachment. In this article, we will focus on an important concept in metal 3D printing, fatigue performance. When an object is subjected to continued cyclic loads with maximum loads below the yield strength of the material, eventually cracks form and the material fails - this is fatigue. The fatigue strength refers to the load maximum at which the material withstands a few million cycles (high cycle fatigue) or several millions of cycles (very high cycle fatigue). The fatigue life refers to the number of cycles at a specific load before failure occurs. Fatigue performance refers to the combination of these at various load conditions and therefore refers to the general ability of a material to withstand such failures.

Why is Copper the new darling to the 3D printing industry? Even before the pandemic, Daniel Martinez and his co-founders at Copper3D, a Chilean startup, had a grand vision for Copper-based nanocomposite materials, for 3D printing, and for non-additive manufacturing globally to produce products that have long-lasting anti-microbial products. This podcast is a recording of our weekly Instagram Live interview with Daniel. You can find the video version of this recording on our website 3dheals.com, our IG account, and our Vimeo channel.

Bone Grafts: Inducing Bone Regeneration with 3D Printed Porosity
Bone provides a living system with essential rigidity. Accidents, infections, bone tumors, and other diseases make bone repair and regeneration a substantial challenge in orthopedics. Major bone reconstruction methods usually use autografts or allografts with good biocompatibility to enhance bone union. However, these bone grafts suffer from numerous limitations, making synthetic alternatives a fascinating option. Calcium phosphates act as synthetic bone graft substitutes because they are osteoconductive and exhibit the possibility of biodegradation. Osteoconduction is the ability of bone-forming cells to invade the scaffold that is formed by the osteoconductive material and gradually replace it with new bone. However, calcium phosphates also carry the risk of implant failure due to insufficient porosity. Dense biomaterials represent only an interfacial connection with host tissue and may cause encapsulation of the implant by fibrous tissue. Thereby, dense biomaterials may hinder the degradation process and are therefore prone to microbial adhesion and the development of infections.
