Are you ready for some awesome videos? We've got a fantastic lineup this week! To start things off, we're taking a look at how 3D printing is being used to create prosthetic eyes in a way that hasn't been done before. The Herston Biofabrication Institute is currently testing out these eyes to see how they compare to handmade ones, which means patients can now receive eyes that are both accurate and tailored to their needs. Next, we're heading over to SolidCAM's headquarters where they're exploring the world of 3D printing. We've got an exclusive sneak peek into what they're up to. We're also going to dive into the controversial topic of 3D printed guns and the ongoing debate surrounding regulation and individual rights. Finally, we'll shift gears to Georgetown to check out an awesome project that's building 100 3D-printed homes. This is a big deal for the construction industry and we can't wait to see the end result. Have a great Sunday!

3D Printing Creates Artificial Eyes For Patients - #1

Advancements in 3D printing technology are revolutionizing the field of ocular prosthetics. Highly skilled ocularists, such as Nicholas Puls, have traditionally handcrafted prosthetic eyes for patients facing various conditions that cause eye loss. Their process involves meticulous modeling and painting to create a custom and hyper-realistic eye. However, the Herston Biofabrication Institute is leading a trial to evaluate the effectiveness of 3D printed eyes in comparison to handcrafted prosthetics. By utilizing the latest in 3D scanning and high-resolution photography, the team hopes to produce prosthetic eyes that are both accurate and customizable. The technology promises to save valuable time and allow for the easy distribution of prosthetic eyes to those in need. While there are exciting possibilities with machine-printed eyes, ocularists believe the best results come from a combination of human craftsmanship and 3D printing. By combining the best of both worlds, ocular prosthetics can continue to advance.

"SolidCAM HQ Visit: Top 2 Reasons"

Our team recently went to the Center of Operations of SolidCAM in Israel for a visit. We were welcomed with open arms by the Founder and CEO, Dr. Emil Somekh, who shared valuable insights with us about their brand expansion and their entry into the world of 3D printing. Michael Vinetski, the Vice President of Product Management, was with us on the visit as well. During our visit, we were able to check out the milling area. Additionally, we were able to witness the operations of their 3D printers, with Alexander Miasnikov, the Additive Technical Manager guiding us throughout the tour. Our mission with our “Inside 3D Tour” series is to give viewers a closer look at the top companies in the additive manufacturing industry, offering a sneak peek of the behind-the-scenes operations.

"HEDRON's 3D Printed Spacers: Top 3 Picks"

Recently, Globus Medical accomplished a milestone by using the Hedron IA implant in a medical procedure. The Hedron IA implant is a 3D printed spacer designed for vertebral body fixation and integrates ALIF (anterior lumbar interbody fusion) technology. The procedure was conducted as an outpatient treatment in Englewood Health, New Jersey, and overseen by Joshua S Rovner. The Hedron IA spacer is specially formulated for patients with degenerative disc disease and offers numerous advantages, including a minimally invasive surgical process, easy insertion, and a resilient design. The biomimetic porous scaffold of the implant promotes bone formation and achieves a balance of strength and porosity that results in improved outcomes for patients compared to traditional implants.

"6 3D Printed Homes For Sale In Georgetown - Top 4 Picks"

Georgetown is gaining attention for its impressive progress in building 100 houses using 3D printers, making it the fastest-growing city in America. Its innovative collaboration between Lennar and ICON, a company based in Austin, is poised to transform the construction industry. This weekend, six of these futuristic houses, which are priced between $475,000 to $565,000, will be up for sale. These homes vary in size, with floorplans ranging from 1,574 to 2,112 square feet. They come with three to four bedrooms and two to three bathrooms. Building these 3D houses will decrease the cost of construction and waste, as well as speed up the process of building homes. This remarkable achievement in Central Texas puts the region on the map as a hub for technological advancement. The Wolf Ranch community is still being developed, with only 25% of the project done so far.

"Exploring IPA Recycling: Top 5 Distillation For Resin 3D Printing"

In this interesting video, we look at the possibility of turning muddy IPA (Isopropyl Alcohol) back into its original clean form through recycling. With us, you'll learn about an effective way to retrieve IPA by using a regular water distiller. Along the way, we provide important safety suggestions to decrease any danger of fire during the distillation process. Additionally, we examine how efficient this method is and conduct a comprehensive cost evaluation to demonstrate if IPA reclamation is economically feasible. This is a valuable exploration of reusing resin soaked IPA, revealing the potential for affordable and sustainable procedures in 3D printing. Don't miss out on this educational journey.
