3D Printing Webinar and Event Roundup: October 1, 2023
Things are slowing down a little this week, but there are still plenty of events and webinars to attend in the additive manufacturing industry! Stratasys, and 3D Systems continue their…
3D Printed Patient-Specific Cancer Treatment Bolus Added to 3D Systems Portfolio
As part of their treatment regime, about 50% of cancer patients will undergo radiotherapy, which kills the cancer cells using a focused beam outside of the body or placing radioactive…
Wearable 3D Printed Sensors Could Keep You Safe from Sunburn
As a very pale person, the struggle against sunburn is real, and as Clarkson University researchers explain, about 1.7 million new skin cancer cases are diagnosed in the US each…
Seoul: Assessing Infill Densities for Better 3D Printing of Models in Radiation Therapy
In the recently published ‘Radiological Characteristics of Materials Used in 3-Dimensional Printing with Various Infill Densities,’ researchers from the Veterans Health Service Medical Center in Seoul, Korea are assessing new…
TU Wien Researchers Use 3D Printed Plastic Screens to Perfectly Shape Terahertz Beams
The terahertz spectrum is tucked away between more commonly known electromagnetic wavelengths, like infrared and microwave. This spectrum, and the radiation wavelengths it emits, is still a decently new field of study,…
Canadian Government Invests in Adaptiiv and Its 3D Printed, Patient-Specific Boluses
To make sure that cancer patients are getting the full strength of their radiation treatment directed exactly where it is most needed, a device called a bolus can be used…
Canadian Nuclear Station Using 3D Printing and Virtual Reality to Save Money and Promote Innovation
While many may not think about nuclear power as one of the many industries making use of 3D printing, the technology’s ability to save time and money, and offer design freedom,…
Custom 3D Printed Boluses Increase Efficacy of Radiation Therapy
As a cancer survivor, I can tell you that radiation is a stressful process. It’s nothing like what I would have imagined, which is not surprising because the sum total…
