A $1.25 million investment is advancing the development of a potential new treatment for advanced and therapy-resistant prostate cancer, with researchers at The University of Queensland moving the drug candidate closer to clinical trials.

Researchers at the US Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) have developed a vacuum-assisted extrusion method that significantly reduces internal porosity in large-scale 3D-printed polymer parts, a development the lab says could improve part strength and accelerate industrial adoption of additive manufacturing.

Researchers from the National University of Singapore (NUS) have developed a novel method that combines 3D bioprinting with artificial intelligence (AI) to produce personalised oral soft tissue grafts, offering a promising alternative to conventional gum tissue grafting procedures.

Researchers at Northwestern University, with support from the U.S. Department of Energy’s Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (Fermilab), have developed a groundbreaking method for 3D printing high-temperature superconductors. 

Researchers at the University of Houston have developed a new class of ceramic structures capable of bending under pressure without breaking, potentially opening the door for their use in applications ranging from medical prosthetics to aerospace components.

The University of Oklahoma (OU) and Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), the US Department of Energy’s largest science and energy laboratory, have announced a strategic collaboration to establish an advanced additive manufacturing centre in Norman, Oklahoma. 

Western Sydney University researchers have secured more than $2.5 million in funding to support collaborative research and development projects aimed at strengthening Australia’s manufacturing sector. 

Flinders University has joined the $270.5 million Additive Manufacturing Cooperative Research Centre (AMCRC), a national initiative focused on advancing Australia’s manufacturing capabilities through additive manufacturing.

Titomic Limited has announced the signing of a teaming agreement with REPKON USA, replacing a previously agreed joint venture arrangement in Turkey and establishing a new framework in the United States. 

The University of South Australia has been named a major partner in two new Cooperative Research Centres backed by more than $500 million to advance Australia's manufacturing sector.
