The Austrian startup XIONEER presented their patented 3D printing system to the ministers of the European Union, providing a pivotal step for further investments in the emerging technology. Materialise NV announced a new collaboration with medical solutions provider DePuy Synthes, which will now distribute patient-specific, 3D printed craniomaxillofacial (CMF) implants in Australia and Europe. Even criminal gangs are getting in on the 3D printing revolution, as law enforcement and shipping industry professionals claim that criminals are able to utilize additive manufacturing to create counterfeit security devices, such as cargo seals, security locks and keys. The Moscow Agency of Innovations has launched the Open Innovation Marketplace (OIMP) competition, where 50 companies will compete in 10 industry challenges, one of which is for 3D printing technology. Proto Labs has expanded their 3D printing services by opening a new facility, which will integrate Concept Laser's LaserCUSING technology to complement their manufacturing capabilities. The Italian company Numanova, a subsidiary of Italeaf, has been granted a unique environmental license that will enable them to further their production of metal powders for the additive manufacturing industry.
