Researchers at Tampere University have developed 3D printed ceramic bone scaffolds that chemically and structurally mimic natural bone tissue, potentially improving patient outcomes and reducing recovery time. Separately, Neuenhauser Maschinenfabrik is expanding its additive manufacturing capabilities by becoming an authorised processor of LUVOCOM 3F materials for industrial FFF 3D printing. https://3dprint.com/326330/3d-printing-news-briefs-5-30-2026/ #3Dprint #3Dprinting #Bioprinting

EPFL researchers have developed a holographic 3D printing system that is 70 times more energy-efficient than previous techniques, printing a life-sized human ear as a step toward bioprinted implants for reconstructive medicine. The method uses phase-controlled laser light in volumetric additive manufacturing and works with light-scattering media containing living cells, with tested constructs showing cell viability after six days. https://3dprinting.com/news/epfls-holographic-3d-printer-builds-tissue-scale-structures-70-times-more-efficiently/ #3Dprint #3Dprinting #Bioprinting

Colossal Biosciences has hatched 26 chicks using 3D printed artificial eggs, a key breakthrough for de-extinction of the dodo and moa. The synthetic eggs combine a semi-permeable silicone membrane with a rigid 3D printed hexagonal shell, enabling gas exchange comparable to natural eggshells. https://www.3dnatives.com/en/3d-printed-egg-colossal-biosciences-25052026/ #3Dprint #3Dprinting #Bioprinting

Researchers have successfully 3D printed a living cornea using stem cells, marking a breakthrough in bioprinting for transplant applications. The study demonstrates the potential for bespoke corneal grafts tailored to individual patients. #3Dprint #3Dprinting #Bioprinting https://www.fabbaloo.com/news/researchers-successfully-3d-print-living-cornea

At RIT, a PhD candidate is advancing reconstructive surgery with 3D printed zinc implants. The absorbable metal provides temporary mechanical support during bone healing, then degrades naturally as new tissue grows, avoiding the need for removal operations. https://3dprint.com/325991/3d-printing-news-briefs-5-14-2026/ #3Dprint #3Dprinting #Bioprinting

So they 3D-printed living human heart tissue that contracts on its own. Canadian lab update for drug testing and disease modeling, not full organ replacement yet.
Stanford’s work on printing vascular networks is tackling the keep-it-alive problem. We’re stacking the necessary pieces, but a complete transplant-ready heart is still years away.

Fraunhofer researchers have developed a 3D-printed biomimetic tissue substitute that mimics natural tissue mechanics using polyurethane acrylate, a wavy metastructure, and electrospun collagen. The design replicates nonlinear stress-strain behaviour found in tissues like the pericardium, addressing a key limitation of conventional polymers. https://3dprinting.com/news/fraunhofer-researchers-3d-print-biomimetic-tissue-substitute-file-patent/ #3Dprint #3Dprinting #Bioprinting
