The Week in 3D Printing – Feb 4th to Feb 10th
Happy Friday everyone,
Everyone loves Friday because after Friday comes Saturday and Saturday = Maximum Awesomeness! But before you go into your lovely weekends, let me update you with what has been going on in the world of 3D printing this week. To be honest with you, it was quite a calm week. For real this time… because I actually said this last week as well and we ended up with more items than I thought we would. So, to get the ball rolling I’ll start with…
83-Year-Old Woman Gets the World’s First 3-D Printed Jaw Transplant
We did actually cover this last week, but because we only had the footage in Dutch, I thought it would be fair enough to share this again for the rest of the world. It discusses how 3D printing company Layerwise made this medical procedure possible.

Back to the future: 3D printing in 1989
As we highlighted on our blog this week, we found a nice blast from the past on the web. It was lovely to see how 3D printing started and what their visions were for the future.
Tech and the movies: 3D printing brings new angle to animation
This news item might be from a week or two back, but as often happens… not all news reaches everyone as fast. It’s still amazing to see how 3D printing is being used in the movie industry. The article comes from Fox News and was also recently covered by Fabbaloo.
And that honestly seems about it for this week. I did say that it was a bit calm so it was a bit expected, but if you think we overlooked something… Feel free to add it in our comments so that the rest of the community can enjoy what else happened.
Aside from that, we all wish our lovely community an amazing weekend and we’ll obviously be back next week for some more 3D printed news.
