Abstract Purpose We examined the effect of muscle stretching on the ability to produce rapid torque and the mechanisms underpinning the changes. Methods Eighteen men performed three conditions: (1) continuous stretch (1 set of 5 min), (2) intermittent stretch (5 sets of 1 min with 15-s inter-stretch interval), and (3) control. Isometric plantar flexor rate...

The WASP 3D printer is becoming synonymous with community living, as the TECLA concept arrives on the heels of years of work on the Shamballa village in Italy. Known as pioneering specialists in 3D printing for Italy, WASP and Mario Cucinella Architects (MC A), collaborated on the 3D printe habitat being installed in Bologna. Inspired by issues with overpopulatioin, the circular housing model to be 3D printed with the Crane WASP is meant to offer affordable housing to everyone. Created with completely...
While it took decades for the rest of the world to catch up, a handful of aerospace organizations, automotive industry leaders, and other innovators have continued to enjoy the inside track on 3D printing and additive manufacturing processes—progressing from the use of polymers to metal. Daimler was one of the forerunners in using 3D printing, and as the technology has continued to pick up steam and infiltrate the mainstream, the German-headquartered company has embraced it further too, with Daimler...
A new collaboration is in the works today between 3D Systems (Rock Hill, SC) and Antleron (Leuven, Belgium), with details just released regarding their dual venture into the world of bioprinting to further medical device and advanced therapy medicinal product (ATMP) applications. With the goal of creating a digital factory atmosphere using modular, closed parametric processes, the two companies are hoping to continue making advances in tissue engineering, along with streamlining the transformation...

Our bellies full of hawker food we walk towards the Singapore Expo. We’re two and two becoming part of NAMIC’s Global Additive Manufacturing Summit, a small part of a significant attempt of the candle power heavy nation of Singapore to become a nexus of 3D printing. A few countries are making concerted efforts to concentrate 3D printing within their borders. NAMIC is Singapore’s initiative, and as 3DPrint.com we desperately wanted to engage with it because it was so research and application heavy....
Meltio is a new company specialized in applying additive manufacturing and 3D scanning to industrial sectors such as aerospace, architecture, automotive, medical, education, electronics, and machining. It was set up in mid-2019 as a joint venture with the participation of Additec, an American company based in Las Vegas, Nevada and Sicnova, a Spanish company with a vast history in the 3D field. Its goal is to boost the industry by improving productivity, by means of a wide portfolio of connected...
Additive Manufacturing Technologies Ltd. (AMT) has just finished raising $5.2 million upon completing a Series A equity round. Led by DSM Venturing, the venture capital arm of Royal DSM, and Foresight Williams Technology EIS Fund, this round of funding will both increase AMT’s global presence as well as commercialize their automated systems further. Following on the heels of a recent grant funding from Innovate UK and seed investment by Midwest Additive Ventures and NPIF-Mercia Equity Finance through...
For a few years now, we’ve followed the work of Israeli fashion designer Ganit Goldstein, ever since she was a second year jewelry and fashion student at the Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design in Jerusalem. Goldstein has collaborated with Stratasys a few times in the past on 3D printed clothing and footwear collections, but for her latest work, the innovative fashion designer teamed up with Prague-based 3D printing company Prusa Research. Together, they created a wearable collection of FDM 3D printed...
The Additive Manufacturing Center of Excellence (AMCOE) at Somerset Community College (SCC) in Kentucky has received the National Science Foundation Advanced Technological Education (NSF ATE) grant award for the Mobile Additive Manufacturing Platform for 21st Century STEM Workforce Enhancement (Mobile AMP). This grant – the second one SCC has received from NCF – is meant to increase innovative opportunities, as well as the ‘entrepreneurship infrastructure’ in Tennessee and Kentucky. SCC faculty...
In the recently published ‘Experimental Study of the Performance of the Elliptical Savonius Turbine and New Design for Blade Shape Using A 3D Printing Technology,’ researchers from Malaysia and Iraq examine the efficiency of the Savonius wind turbine. Concerned with the geometry of the blade shape here, the researchers point out that ‘a lot of research has been done on developing and improving this parameter,’ and in this study they strive to create a new design with better performance. The researchers...
In the recently published ‘Evaluating The Visibility of Building Syrian Refugee Shelters by 3D Printing Technology in Jordan,’ authors Mohanad Akeila, Kelvin Kuok King Kuok, and N.H. Matthew Wong are touching on one of the most fascinating topics in 3D printing as it lends itself to humanitarian efforts and shows off nearly all the benefits of 3D printing. The researchers evaluate whether it is a realistic endeavor to attempt to 3D print Syrian shelters in Jordan, investigating current conditions,...
Massachusetts-based Voxel8 was co-founded in 2014 by an interdisciplinary team of scientists and engineers from Harvard University, led by Dr. Jennifer Lewis. The company is working to develop digital manufacturing systems that will change up how we design, manufacture, and sell footwear and athletic apparel around the world. Not long ago, the company introduced its multi-material ActiveLab Digital Fabrication System, which allows for the product development, wear testing, and production runs of...
In the industrial world, 3D printed jigs and fixtures are truly unsung heroes. Both jigs and fixtures are types of tools that are used to control the operation of another instrument. However, a fixture sets itself apart in that it’s mainly used to hold another tool or device in place during the manufacturing process. As a manufacturer, in any industry, you rely on essential components like jigs and fixtures to get the job done. The difference is that these days, more and more manufacturers are realizing...
With today’s release of the J850 3D Printer, a full-color, multi-material PolyJet system, Stratasys meets its goal to continue pushing the boundaries—now they want to give us the ability to take ‘rapid prototyping’ to the next level. The J850 offers: Increased productivity with super high-speed mode Seven material capacity enables more color, transparency, flexibility Extremely high-quality prints and better part refinement Modeling time reduction of up to 50 percent Reduced time to market...
We’ve known already for a number of years that aerospace, automotive and defense company GKN is serious about 3D printing. The company acquired one of the first Additive Industries systems, collaborated with GE Additive also, set up a powdered metals sales and production business, printed new steels with Porsche, and opened the prerequisite to be one of the big boys: the center of excellence. Now the firm has doubled down once again, acquiring Forecast3D. Carlsbad, California-based Forecast3D...

Summary Oligonucleotide-based gene silencing, using molecules such as antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs), small interfering RNA, and aptamers, is widely studied. Another approach uses DNA/RNA heteroduplex oligonucleotides (HDOs). Here, we developed an antisense double-stranded DNA oligonucleotide (ADO) by modification of the complementary RNA in an HDO to generate DNA for increasing resistance to nucleases. Naked BCR-ABL-targeting ADO was significantly more potent than siRNA at...
Summary Thymic neuro endocrine tumor (tNET) are extremely rare malignancies with poor prognosis, requiring investigation of novel therapeutic approaches. 177Lu-DOTATATE is a successful systemic treatment modality in patients with metastatic gastroenteropancreatic but it role in tNET is not yet well established. Here we report a case of a 39-year-old man with refractory bone marrow infiltration of a tNET, treated by 4 cycles of peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT) with 177Lu...
