Rize Webinar on Generative Design & 3D Printing

Boston-based additive manufacturing company Rize, which specializes in Augmented Polymer Deposition (APD) technology that allows for the easy snap-off release of supports, has published a free webinar, which is available to view on-demand, about how to seamlessly use additive manufacturing and generative design to achieve process innovation. The webinar, which lasts about 20 minutes, features Rize Applications Engineer Neil Foley, who tells viewers how the combination of these two technologies can make it possible to automate and optimize important parameters, like weight distribution and strength, and how to speed up the adoption of new design methodologies in order to “streamline design and production and scale the technology across your company.”

“One of the main challenges of additive manufacturing is that it is not safe and easy for all users. This limits the adoption of next-generation design tools, like generative design, which need early validation that is only possible with 3D printing. Furthermore, design validation requires multiple iterations and the ability to have full digital traceability of 3D printed parts to the original designs.”

3DHEALS 2020 Virtual Medical Summit: Comprehensive Look at Craniomaxillofacial 3D Printing

There were a multitude of sessions and sub-sessions to follow at 3DHEALS 2020 (running from June 5-6, 2020), with over 70 speakers and four workshops, covering many topics on complex design and patient-specific treatment. Here at 3DPrint.com, we have covered many stories on craniomaxillofacial surgeries, including exploring patient-specific applications, research into simulation, and the use of advanced 3D printed visualization and surgical planning guides.

In attending the virtual summit, however, we were able to hear from Dr. Devid Zille (Director of Applied Innovations at OsteoMed), Dr. Rui Coelho (CEO at BoneEasy), Zsolt Pasztor, PhD (Managing Director at PREMET), and Dr. Albert Woo (Associate Professor of Surgery at Brown University)—professionals and innovators who put the wheels into motion for fabricating complex, 3D medical designs for intricate surgeries. As an interesting side note, Dr. Zille actually used to work in the automotive realm as a car designer and, yes, he actually designed wheels (see below).

Now, as an oral and maxillofacial surgeon, Zille states that he sees parallels between virtual surgical planning (VSP) and the spokes of the wheel that he designed below:

Zille also discusses the numerous evolutionary phases in 3D printing with training models, patient-specific models, cutting guides, and patient-specific implants.

Initially, the surgeon also stated that surgical planning with conventional methods can be extremely time-consuming and is not always predictable. Models allow for better diagnostics and treatment, and excellent training for everyone from medical students to surgeons.

Surgeries now can be simulated ahead of time, offering much better visual presentation and a foundation for nearly “anything to be developed over the mesh.” Zille points out that that includes cutting tools, but also patient-specific implants.

Dr. Rui Coelho went on to explain what is involved in biological design, as it requires engineering and architecture, as well as a surgeon.

“We should design a process where the experience of all of the designs could benefit new designs,” explains Coelho in his presentation. “Our design should answer to every anatomical detail. Not only to the bone but also the surrounding structures.”

Engineers must have time to examine the face of the patient, decide on materials for proper attachment (such as metal, PEEK, ceramics), create a prototype, and ultimately, improve the quality of life for the recipient.

Zsolt Pasztor, PhD, introduced himself from Hungary, explaining that Budapest is the capital of “dental tourism.” In using dental implants, placement is critical; however, 50 percent of patients do not have sufficient room for these medical devices, meaning that more ‘complex solutions’ like customized, patient-specific implants often offer success.

Bone loss is a challenge for treatment

Development of implants includes:

  • Design
  • Measurements
  • Simulation
  • Consultation
  • Continuous improvement

Sample implants

Fit for the patient, mechanical properties, and osseointegration are most important.

Measurements

As a surgeon, Dr. Albert Woo explains that procedures involving the eye sockets are usually the most delicate. Those are the cases that concern him the most, due to the extreme precision required in measuring. Insertion of implants in such surgeries requires state-of-the-art materials and technique.

Woo has also inserted implants in other severe cases; for instance, one patient was missing half of his nose due to cancer. With digital imaging, Woo was able to use a scan from the other side of his face to create an appropriate prosthetic. His team has also used 3D printing to sidestep the need for making molds. With 3D imaging, they are able to create the orthotic and go from there.

Dr. Woo concluded his presentation by explaining that he and his team are also using 3D technology for computational flow dynamics, creating new designs for treating spinal tumors.

Mirroring of normal activity

Although originally set for ‘the heart of San Francisco’ as a venue, this year’s 3DHEALS Global Healthcare 3D printing conference became a virtual—and inspiring—event. Focusing on the continued impacts to the field of medicine, rather than cancel the annual event due to the COVID-19 restrictions, founder and CEO, Dr. Jenny Chen, committed to an online format, and along with seeing every speaker conform to the changes, she was even able to add 25 percent more in programming.

Freeman Technology Webinar

Characterization Tools for Evaluating Polymer Powders for Laser Sintering Webinar

This Tuesday, June 2nd, UK-based Freeman Technology, a Micromeritics company that creates systems for measuring the flow properties of powder materials, will host a webinar at 9 am ET titled “Characterization Tools for Evaluating Polymer Powders for Laser Sintering.” Enrico Gallino, Senior Engineer – Material Specialist at Ricoh UK Products Ltd, will speak about evaluating an AM powder characterization methodology, and will also discuss the results of screening the relevant properties, such as flowability, shape, and thermal properties, of a variety of materials.

“As additive manufacturing (AM) technology transitions from the fabrication of prototypes to serial production of end-use parts, the understanding of the powder properties needed to reliably produce parts of acceptable quality becomes critical,” the webinar site states.

“Achieving the optimal quality for parts does not only depend on setting the right process parameters. Material feedstock also plays an important role when aiming for high performance products. In the case of selective laser sintering, polymer powders are used as a raw material. Therefore, controlling the quality and correctly characterizing the particles used in the process is a key step to successfully apply polymer AM techniques and also to expand the range of material that can be process with this technology.”

3D Printing News Briefs, May 18, 2020: Fraunhofer, Formnext, Visagio & DiManEx, BCN3D Technologies

In today’s 3D Printing News Briefs, Fraunhofer will soon discuss adoption of Industry 4.0-related technologies in a webinar, and we’ve learned that Formnext 2020 is still planned for this November. Moving on, Visagio and DiManEx have announced a partnership. Finally, BCN3D’s technology was used to make an interesting event installation.

Fraunhofer’s Industry 4.0 Webinar

Tomorrow, May 19th, the Fraunhofer Project Center (FPC) at the University of Twente will be holding a free webinar called “The Road to Digitalisation” that explains some of the challenges in adopting technologies related to Industry 4.0, such as 3D printing, as well as the solutions. Industry 4.0 is about optimization, and can offer companies many benefits, such as increased revenue, better quality, and reduced cycle times and costs. But, it can be a tough journey to start, and companies looking to start could use some help.

“Industry 4.0 is all about optimization; from managing big data to efficiency in the production line. All this aims at enabling businesses to make quicker, smarter decisions while minimizing costs. This webinar sets out to explain the challenges and to offer solutions in the adoption of I4.0 related technologies.”

The webinar, featuring Join Biba Visnjicki, Managing Director of FPC, and Thomas Vollmer, Head of Production Quality Dept. from Fraunhofer IPT, will last 60 minutes; register for free here.

Formnext 2020 Still a Go in Frankfurt

As many places in the world are cautiously reopening after recent mass shutdowns due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we need to look to the future. In that vein, Mesago Messe Frankfurt GmbH is still planning to hold the AM industry’s biggest event, formnext 2020, this November 10-13. Recently, the Federal Government and the Federal States of Germany ruled that trade shows are no longer under the ‘major events’ category for health risks, but the health of all the employees, exhibitors, and visitors are still considered the highest priority if the event does indeed take place this fall. That’s why the exhibition organizer is working around the clock to develop an updated health concept, such as introducing contact tracing and decreasing visitor density, along with a supplementary digital/virtual program.

“We remain convinced of the unique value and advantages of a physical exhibition. And although digital interaction will never be able to replace face-to-face contact, it does offer more scope than previously thought possible only a few weeks ago,” stated Sascha F. Wenzler, Vice President of Formnext, Mesago Messe Frankfurt GmbH.

“Ultimately, even in these challenging times, we want to organize a trade show that is as responsive as possible to the current situation and the needs of participants and the market.”

Visagio and DiManEx Partnering to Improve AM Supply Chains

Management consultancy Visagio Ltd and DiManEx BV are partnering to strengthen end-to-end 3D printing usage in supply chains. Companies are looking to conquer supply base disruptions, and by pairing Visagio’s supply chain services with DiManEx’s end-to-end 3D printing platform, they can do so by digitizing their inventory and 3D printing parts on demand, which can delivered all over the world. The collaboration is a representation of how both companies address market needs, especially in these challenging times as COVID-19 disrupts the global supply and demand process.

“Companies are increasingly looking for ways to optimize their supply chains and mitigate risks, such as those brought about by pandemics or geo-political tensions. Our platform embeds 3D printing in supply chains easily, realising the concept of ‘Digital Inventory at your Fingertips, Ordered at a Click of a Button’. Coupled with Visagio’s industry and management expertise, this is a winning combination for supply chain optimization,” said Tibor van Melsem Kocsis, the Founder and CEO of DiManEx.

3D Printed Cisco Live 2020 Installation

Thanks to 3D printing, it was possible to quickly iterate not only the main design, but also all the smaller parts of the internal mechanisms.

Speaking of collaborations, Barcelona data interpretation firm and design studio Domestic Data Streamers pairs data and arts with storytelling to develop “participatory projects” for community building and education. Its workshop has long used 3D printers from BCN3D Technologies, and recently turned to the technology again to create an installation for the Cisco Live 2020 event. The studio wanted to give attendees “a better experience” by displaying the event schedule on an interactive Recommendation Wall of clickable screens; once clicked, the animated image turned into a QR code, which visitors could scan for more information. The screens had to be custom-made, and so Domestic Data Streamers turned to its in-house printer farm, and the BCN3D Epsilon 3D printer. They used PETG to print over 40 of the main covers in just four weeks, which equaled major cost savings.

“The printers work very well, we count on a very high success ratio, and the support from the team is always quick and helpful,” said Pol Trias, the Head of Design at Domestic Data Streamers.

“It gave us great agility when it comes to functionally and aesthetically validating the designs at a very low cost…our processes were more efficient and much faster thanks to our BCN3D Epsilon.

“This could not have happened without 3D printing. For a project like this one, where you want high-quality results in a short time and within a limited budget, there is no better option than 3D printing.”
