The opening keynote of the Euromold conference was given by Jeff Kowalski, Chief Technology Officer of Autodesk.

The conference at Euromold 2015 followed the theme of "Shaping the future of 3D printing globally". The first day was strongly focussed around the "globally" aspect, with speakers chosen from a wide variety of countries across the world and asked to speak about all the 3DP activities in their countries.

Prodways Group, subsidiary of Groupe Gorgé, has announced the signing of a major partnership with the Chinese company Hunan Farsoon High-Tech, regarding selective laser sintering technologies for plastic and metal powders.

Researchers have developed a system that can take MRI scans of a patient's heart and, in a matter of hours, convert them into a tangible, physical model that surgeons can use to plan surgery.

Three dimensional printing is revolutionizing the production of new devices and structures, including soft robots, flexible electronics and engineered tissue replacements, but advances have been challenged by the inherent complexity of integrating multiple materials.

The 3D printing industry is still going from strength to strength. According to the IDTechEx report 3D Printing 2015-2025: Technologies, Markets, Players this industry is set to grow from $1bn in 2012 to $20bn in 2025.

Materialise NV partnered together with Arcam to create the Arcam Build Processor.

In 2014, we saw a huge number of mergers and acquisitions within the 3D printing industry. IDTechEx analyzes this trend and examines why this has changed in 2015.

Additive manufacturing layers metallic powders to form engine parts, but much is still unknown about the ability to produce rocket engine parts reliable enough for use on launch vehicles carrying humans.

A Spanish cancer patient has received a 3D printed titanium sternum and rib cage designed and manufactured in Australia.

Which 3D printed plastics are sterilizable? What is the tensile strength of 3D printed titanium? In order to resolve these questions, Additively are launching the Material Finder - an easy-to-use tool to search a database of more than 250 3D printing materials.

Finding an ideal bio-ink for 3-d printing has stalled progress toward printing more complex tissues with versatile functions — tissues that can be loaded with pharmaceuticals, for example.

Design tool lets novices do in minutes what would take experts in computer-aided design hours.

Development of a technique to 3-D print tiny models of human tissues, called organoids, more precisely than ever before using a process that turns human cells into a biological equivalent of LEGO bricks.
