This article covers IDTechEx's visit to LOPEC 2026 in Munich, exploring the use of IME within automotives.https://www.idtechex.com/en/research-article/will-ime-be-the-path-for-printed-electronics-to-break-into-automotives/34602?rsst2id=153https://www.idtechex.com/en/research-article/will-ime-be-the-path-for-printed-electronics-to-break-into-automotives/34602?rsst2id=153Tue, 14 Apr 2026 ZZZl.schuett@idtechex.com (Lily-Rose Schuett) Recently, Israeli bioprinting company MeaTech 3D Ltd announced that it succeeded in printing a 104 gram (3.67 oz) cultivated steak using their proprietary 3D printing technology. Made of real cultivated fat and muscle cells, the steak is believed to be the largest cultured steak produced to date. The achievement represents another step on the road to mass production of cultured meat, an important goal to combat climate change.https://www.idtechex.com/en/research-article/3d-printing-meets-meat-in-the-largest-cultured-steak-ever-made/25517?rsst2id=153https://www.idtechex.com/en/research-article/3d-printing-meets-meat-in-the-largest-cultured-steak-ever-made/25517?rsst2id=153Mon, 20 Dec 2021 ZZZs.dadhania@idtechex.com (Sona Dadhania) Cardiologists need to rely on the technology at their disposal. Shortages in available donor tissue for cardiac transplantation are driving the development of cardiovascular 3D bioprinting technologies.https://www.idtechex.com/en/research-article/moving-towards-3d-bioprinted-cardiovascular-tissue/20297?rsst2id=153https://www.idtechex.com/en/research-article/moving-towards-3d-bioprinted-cardiovascular-tissue/20297?rsst2id=153Tue, 31 Mar 2020 ZZZi.debacker@idtechex.com (Dr Ivan De Backer) There is no doubt that 3D bioprinting is a technology of the future. Imagine being able to print a kidney or liver on demand. This is a stark contrast to the long wait for a donor organ today. Currently, the average wait time for a liver is 4 to 5 months, and 2.5 to 3 years for a kidney in the UK. Despite the acceleration in 3D bioprinting research we have witnessed in the past few years, we are still far from the holy grail of printed organs for transplant.https://www.idtechex.com/en/research-article/3d-bioprinted-organ-models-key-to-1-9-billion-market/17497?rsst2id=153https://www.idtechex.com/en/research-article/3d-bioprinted-organ-models-key-to-1-9-billion-market/17497?rsst2id=153Tue, 23 Jul 2019 ZZZnadia@IDTechEx.com (Dr Nadia Tsao) Though activities in 3D bioprinting have been growing in leaps and bounds since 2015, the activity we have seen in 2018 has been truly remarkable for this fledgling field. Finally, governments, academic institutions and companies alike are beginning to understand the value that 3D bioprinting can bring and are working hard together to bring disruptive change through building tissues from scratch.https://www.idtechex.com/en/research-article/the-coming-of-age-of-3d-bioprinting/16123?rsst2id=153https://www.idtechex.com/en/research-article/the-coming-of-age-of-3d-bioprinting/16123?rsst2id=153Wed, 19 Dec 2018 ZZZk.smith@IDTechEx.com (Kim Smith) Dr Nadia Tsao, an IDTechEx Analyst met with a representative of CellInk to discuss their developments in the bioprinting sector, specifically their BioX bioprinter.https://www.idtechex.com/en/research-article/demonstration-of-cellinks-new-biox-bioprinter/14716?rsst2id=153https://www.idtechex.com/en/research-article/demonstration-of-cellinks-new-biox-bioprinter/14716?rsst2id=153Wed, 24 Oct 2018 ZZZn.fifield@idtechex.com (Natalie Fifield) The past 3 months has been busy for 3D bioprinting companies, with numerous publications emerging from academia and announcements from industry.

"I'm not saying I agree with it, I'm just saying what's fact based on plausible growth in technology." How true is this? And how close are we? At IDTechEx, we take pride in cutting through the hype, to reveal what is actually possible and where the real opportunities lie.https://www.idtechex.com/en/research-article/separating-fact-from-fiction-in-3d-bioprinting/7681?rsst2id=153https://www.idtechex.com/en/research-article/separating-fact-from-fiction-in-3d-bioprinting/7681?rsst2id=153Fri, 10 Apr 2015 ZZZr.gordon@IDTechEx.com (Ms Rachel Gordon)
