Meshy 7 Launch, 4D Printed Implants, and ExOne Merger Highlight 3D Printing News
New AI-powered 3D modeling tool, 4D-printed medical implants, and a major industry merger make headlines this week.
Meshy 7, a new AI-powered image-to-3D generation tool, has been launched by Meshy Ai. The updated software improves alignment between input images and generated 3D models, offering enhanced texture and style fidelity. It supports multiple file formats and integrates with major 3D design software. The tool is now available to Pro-tier users and maintains the same pricing structure as before.
In another development, ExOne and voxeljet have merged into a single legal entity under ExOne Global Holdings. The combined company, based in Germany, integrates both firms’ sand 3D printing technologies and teams. Existing contracts and support services remain unaffected, and the merger is expected to enhance production capabilities for customers.
Researchers at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and Mass General Brigham have developed 4D-printed hydrogel tissue expanders. These implants can be customized into personalized ear- and breast-shaped geometries, offering large-volume expansion while supporting natural tissue growth. The technology represents a significant advancement in personalized medical devices.
Meshy 7 advances AI-driven 3D modeling, streamlining design workflows and reducing iteration time. The ExOne-voxeljet merger strengthens the industrial 3D printing sector by consolidating expertise. The 4D-printed implants highlight additive manufacturing’s growing role in personalized medicine, showing potential for future bioprinting and in-situ medical applications.
