L3Harris said that before 3D printed materials can be used in spacecraft components, they must be fully tested to ensure that they are resistant to the harsh environment of low Earth orbit (LEO). L3Harris has launched a project to test 3D-printed radio frequency (RF) circuits and various material samples on SpaceX's 27th Commercial Resupply Services (CRS) mission. The move follows an experiment conducted on the International Space Station in 2021, which provided valuable data over a period of two months. L3Harris is expanding its materials testing range to include photonic materials for photonic integrated circuits, a technology similar to computer chips but using light instead of electrons.

Researchers from IOCB in Prague and GHENT University (GHENT) have published a paper in ACS Applied Engineering Materials presenting their findings on a gelatin-based material that has the potential for a wide range of medical applications, especially in plastic and reconstructive surgery. The study suggests a new way to easily monitor 3D printed gelatin based materials using X-ray machines or computed tomography (CT). Read More

As part of this collaboration, BIO INX will distribute Rossello's research and technology-grade X-Pure gelatin biomaterial, which is known for its quality and reliability. The X-Pure gelatin line will be seamlessly integrated into BOn March 14, 2024, BIO INX, a developer of 3D bioprinting materials, announced a strategic partnership with Rousselot, a global leader in gelatin and collagen solutions, to bring 3D bioprinting technology closer to the clinic.IO INX's products, making these cutting-edge materials available to Read More
