Antibacterial Filament For Future Use

• Copper3D has introduced PLACTIVE, an antibacterial 3D printing filament
• It is designed to create devices such as prosthetics and braces
• It has copper nanoparticles, which are active in the elimination of microorganisms that makes it less prone to bacteria
• NASA is interested in the filament
• Will use for future research and for astronauts’ suits.

Detecting Mosquito Diseases Through 3D Printed Tool

• Researchers from the University of Texas at Austin has developed a 3D printed diagnostic tool
• It identifies disease-spreading Aedes aegypti mosquitoes
• It also determines if the mosquito had contact with a mosquito-control strategy known as Wolbachia
• The tool uses a smartphone camera
• It also uses a small 3D-printed box with a simple chemical test to show if a dead mosquito belongs to the Aedes aegypti

3D Printers Get Attacked By Software

• 3,800 3D printers were attacked
• The software Octoprint controls the 3D printer
• Xavier Mertens and Richard Porter were the two people from the SANS Internet Storm Center (ISC) who stated the news
• It might lead to other people controlling your 3D printer because the software doesn’t require authentication
