3D printing is a lot of fun, and there's something new every week.
Hello everyone, welcome to the 123D study room, here is the big event of the week.
Two years ago, 68-year-old Uncle Xie suffered a bilateral femoral shaft fracture due to a fall, and the fracture did not heal for a long time after surgery at a local hospital. A month ago, a personalized metal prosthesis was customized through 3D printing to induce the growth of cells and blood vessels and the circulation and metabolism of nutrients, thereby accelerating the repair process and helping Uncle Xie return to normal life as soon as possible.
The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Finance and the Standardization Administration of the People's Republic of China have successively issued documents such as the National Additive Manufacturing Industry Development Promotion Plan, the Additive Manufacturing Industry Development Action Plan, and the Additive Manufacturing Standard Pilot Action Plan to vigorously promote the innovation and industrial application of additive manufacturing technology. Remanufacturing based on additive manufacturing technology can maximize the development and utilization of the value of parts to be scrapped, and reduce the environmental harm of failed and scrapped parts, so as to achieve green manufacturing.
Recently, India's non-profit trust launched a pilot program. The goal of the project is to preserve the knowledge of more than 3,300 ancient palm leaf manuscripts by 3D printing replicas of palm leaves. This palm leaf replica is more resistant to the effects of time and natural factors than traditional manuscripts, providing an innovative approach to the long-term preservation of historical and cultural heritage.
Fourth, Erin Bedford's team at Aspect Biosystems, a Canadian bio-3D printing technology company, announced that it will use 3D printing technology to create human pancreatic cells to ** type 1 diabetes. After successful testing on mice, human trials are expected soon.
Finally, the California Energy Commission awarded Mighty Buildings $5 million for 3D-printed green housing for the San Francisco Bay Area project. The funding supports work in Bay Point, California, in the San Francisco Bay Area to develop, test, and demonstrate zero-carbon or near-zero-carbon, cost-effective, modular prefabricated homes that can be easily built and are particularly well-suited to under-resourced neighborhoods.
Well, this is the end of this sharing of new and interesting things in the 3D printing industry, and we will see you next week.
