Fripp Design Granted Patent for Picsima Silicone 3D Printing Process
Sheffield-based design company Fripp Design developed a process for 3D printing with silicone materials called Picsima a few years ago, and they were finally granted their patent in the UK this week. The Picsima silicone 3D printing process can be used to 3D print realistic prosthetic body parts using high quality 3D scans, including noses, ears and even dentures with medical grade silicon materials which have already been approved for surgery. Now that the company has patented the process they will officially begin offering potential partners and investors access to the specifics of their technology as well as licensing deals to interested companies.
