MatériauxUne imprimante 3D pour fabriquer de la peau de synthèse Le domaine de l'ingénierie des tissus biologiques a connu un pas en avant décisif avec l'invention à l'Université de Toronto d'un procédé pouvant créer pour un coût modique et en peu de temps un remplacement fonctionnel pour la peau.

Le dispositif, ne nécessitant qu'une unique étape, serait le premier au monde à pouvoir créer du tissu vivant rapidement et à grande échelle, ce qui est important dans le cas de la régénération de la peau endommagée par des brûlures ou d'autres blessures étendues. Il a été développé dans l'espoir de remplacer les traditionnelles greffes de peau à partir d'une zone saine des patients, ceux-ci pouvant alors recevoir des greffons fabriqués mécaniquement, plus sûrs, plus rapides à produire et moins coûteux.

Buy 3D Printer: Design it. Print it. Own it. 3D Printer | Exploring the world of 3D printing. OEDK - Rice University - 3D Printer. 3-D Printer The 3-D printer is a rapid prototyping machine for making plastic prototypes from CAD models. The item is printed using Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) plastic and a support material, allowing for complicated 3-D shapes. It can easily and fairly rapidly create 3-D models from computer files created using SolidWorks®, IronCAD®, or virtually any other 3-D rendering suite. The resolution of the machine is 0.02 inches in the x, y, and z directions. Before you use the 3-D printer, there are several things to consider.

Format The file you need in order to operate the 3-D printer is an .stl file. Budget To start with, there is a $5.00 processing charge for use of the plastic base and sodium hydroxide bath. Scheduling and Patience Although you do not have to pay for time on the machine, printing parts can take hours. You can expect a minimum of one day processing time prior to the commencement of printing. Necessity. Nick Ervinck wins Bits to Its 3D Printing Best In Show Award.

With close to perfect scores from all three show curators, Belgian multi-media Artist Nick Ervinck’s 3D printed sculpture RACHT was named Best in Show for the Bits to Its Juried 3D Printed Art Show. The show opens on April 27 at the Landing Gallery in Rockland, Maine and was organized by the non-profit Maine FabLab. Upon hearing of the prize, Mr. Ervinck commented, “I don’t just want to use 3D printing as technology … but to challenge the possibilities of the technology … almost like flirting with the machines!” Israeli Judge Asher Nahmias aka Dizingof recognized this element of Mr. Ervinck’s work and says, “His intricate sculpture displays the powerful fabrication capabilities of 3D printing technology. I trust he will continue to push its boundaries further. Judge Joshua Harker explains, “My scoring was based on 3 criteria: Creativity, Aesthetic Beauty, & Utilization of Technology. Related.
