    [ Hot Focus on Chemical Machinery and Equipment Network ] At present, 3D printing has covered many fields such as manufacturing, medical care, education, aerospace and so on
    .
    3D printers are capable of printing cultured meat, chewable tablets and myocardial tissue, electric vehicles, and products of any color and shape
    .

     
    Chemical machinery and equipment network hotspots focus on chemical machinery and equipment
    Nowadays, 3D printing, which is considered to be an advanced and "magic" technology, has been widely used in all walks of life and in daily life, and the downstream application fields of 3D printing technology are also expanding

    3D printing 'cultured meat'
     
    3D printing 'cultured meat'
      Recently, Japan's Osaka University and Shimadzu Corporation announced that they will jointly develop a "cultured meat" technology similar to Snowflake beef using 3D printers
    .
    According to reports, the 3D printing technology can create different biological tissues, such as blood vessels, fat, muscles, etc.
    , and then bundle them into fibers to approximate the real meat structure
    .

     

      In the past, 3D printing technology obtained mostly minced meat made of lean meat fibers, and the appearance and taste were not as good as real meat
    .
    Today, with the in-depth research and application of 3D printing technology, it has been possible to restore the snow pattern similar to that of wagyu cattle, and to adjust the ratio of fat and lean meat
    .
    According to industry insiders, "artificial meat" and "cultured meat" will help alleviate food shortages caused by population growth and reduce greenhouse gas emissions from animal husbandry in the future
    .

     

      3D printed 'chewable tablets'
     
    3D printed 'chewable tablets'
      We often hear about 3D printing some products, but we rarely see the technology related to dietary supplements and oral care
    .
    It is reported that Nourish3D, a British manufacturer of 3D printed personalized vitamin supplements, has teamed up with Colgate, a world leader in oral health care, to launch an innovative new 3D printed chewable tablet (a mouthwash alternative) that can be carried around, allowing people to take oral care anytime, anywhere.

      3D printed "myocardial tissue"
     
    3D printed "myocardial tissue"
      The complexity of the heart structure is far beyond people's imagination
    .
    The heart can be said to be one of the most complex and sophisticated organs in the human body
    .
    A 3D-printed heart with "blood" (capillary network) and "meat" (cardiomyocytes) that beats regularly can survive up to 6 months outside the body?
     

      The team of Wang Xiujie, a researcher at the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, the team of Wang Changling, a professor at the University of Manchester, and the team of Liu Yongjin, a professor at Tsinghua University, have jointly tackled key problems.
    They creatively transformed a six-axis robot into a biological 3D printer, and printed a capillary network that can Myocardial tissue that survives and maintains beating for more than 6 months in vitro has the same cell viability as manual operation, 98%
    .

     

      Specifically, with the help of a new biological 3D printer transformed by a six-axis robot and a special cell printing method, the researchers broke through the flat layer limitation of traditional 3D printing and printed a complex vascular scaffold with normal cell cycle and function.
    "Myocardial tissue"
    .
    Compared with traditional Cartesian bioprinters and electromagnetic cell jet printers, this 3D printer does not cause mechanical damage to cells

      3D printing products of any color and shape
     
    3D printing products of any color and shape
      3D printing can change from single color to full color, gradient color, mutation color, as long as you can think of it, it can make objects of any color and shape
    .
    A few days ago, 7 college students from Xi'an University of Technology in Shaanxi Province spent 3 years doing thousands of color experiments and developed a full-color 3D printer that can print products of any color and any shape.
    There is no printer with similar functions on the market
    .

     

      As far as the author understands, the 3D printer is connected to the computer, and the raw materials of five colors are edited by the input of the color software, so that the raw materials are automatically output according to the specific gravity designed by the software, controlled by the motor control board, and the print head automatically outputs a small color vase with gradient colors.

    .
    In addition, because the machine does not need to switch the print head, the transition of the printed color changes is more natural, and the printing function of two modes of gradient color and sudden color can be realized
    .

     

      3D printing customized electric vehicles
     
    3D printing customized electric vehicles
      Recently, XEVYOYO and Junchen (Shandong) Trading Group held a strategic cooperation signing ceremony in Hefei Xinzhan High-tech Zone
    .
    5,000 smart electric vehicles for urban travel using 3D printing technology will be put into the Shandong market
    .
    It is understood that the first phase of XEVYOYO Hefei Additive Manufacturing Center is mainly divided into two parts: 3D printing equipment production line and trial production workshop.
    The first phase of the additive manufacturing center will achieve a monthly production of 1,000 sets of customized body parts to meet the customized sales target in 2022.

      3D printed animal 'prosthetics'
     
    3D printed animal 'prosthetics'
      A veterinary student from Poland is said to have used 3D printing technology to create a digital 3D model for a custom-made prosthesis for a dog with an injured front paw
    .
    And medical experts at the University of South Florida used CT scan data to 3D print a cancerous female Indian hornbill to the rescue
    .
    Another example is a macaw from South Africa that damaged its beak in a fight with its own kind
    .
    In this regard, the staff made a 3D model based on the damaged beak, and then 3D printed a nylon false beak prototype
    .

     

      3D printing technology, together with artificial intelligence, Internet of Things, gene sequencing, etc.
    , is known as a cutting-edge technology that changes human life in the 21st century, and the national level has also paid enough attention to the development of the 3D printing industry
    .
    In the future, with the continuous development of 3D printing technology, it is believed that more 3D printing products will appear in the public eye, let us wait and see!
