Abstract: An additive manufacturing device for manufacturing a mould. The additive manufacturing device includes a container for providing at least one mould material, a build platform having a build surface for holding and/or supporting at least one mould being or having been manufactured by an additive manufacturing process, a source for providing energy to selectively activate and subsequently solidify the at least one mould material in or from the container to enable additive manufacturing of the mould, and an electronic controller adapted to selectively control the source to manufacture the mould as a one-piece sacrificial mould according to a predetermined design producing a one-piece additively manufactured mould.

Abstract: An additive manufacturing apparatus having a container for holding a radiation-curable liquid, and a build platform having a build surface for holding a product being manufactured during a manufacturing process. The build platform is movable relative to the container in a predetermined direction. The apparatus also includes a radiation source for providing hardening radiation to selectively solidify radiation-curable liquid in the container by exposure to form the product. The container includes an interior floor having a flexible floor part maintainable in a planar configuration in which the flexible floor part is planar. A radiation-curable liquid in contact with the interior floor is confined by a container wall having a flexible wall section arranged to move intactly with the flexible floor part.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an additive manufacturing device (100) for manufacturing a product (201), wherein the additive manufacturing device (100) comprises a build platform (200) comprising a build surface (260) configured to hold or support, during use, at least one product (201) being manufactured by an additive manufacturing process, wherein the build platform (200) is a modular building platform comprising at least one of a plurality of separable or separate modular build platform units (210), each comprising at least one build surface (260) configured to hold or support, during use, at least one product (201) being manufactured during the additive manufacturing process.

Abstract: An additive manufacturing apparatus for manufacturing a product. The apparatus includes a container, a build platform with a build surface, and a radiation source for providing hardening radiation to selectively expose and solidify radiation-curable liquid in the container. An electronic controller is configured to read a first product definition file defining the product and to control at least an intensity of the hardening radiation and motion of the build platform in accordance with the product definition file to cause the manufacturing of the product. The apparatus is configured to manufacture a first fiducial marker in rigid connection with the build surface during the manufacturing process. A corresponding method is also provided.

Abstract: An electroporation device and method having a plurality of electrotherapeutic devices for insertion into and surrounding a sensitive target tissue e.g. the brain of a patient where the electroporation device and the electrotherapeutic devices are adapted for applying a precisely controlled electrical field, and to avoid or limit damages to the healthy tissue surrounding the target tissue to be treated.

Abstract: An electroporation device having a handle section, a set of electrodes, and an electrode guide assembly. The handle section is operatively connected to an elongate introducer shaft, which has a longitudinal axis and a distal tip. The set of electrodes includes respective distal electrode tips. The electrode guide assembly is arranged inside the elongate introducer shaft and includes a set of electrode channels with each electrode channel guiding one or several electrodes. Each electrode is slidably arranged within an electrode channel between (a) a retracted position, where the distal electrode tips are enclosed inside the introducer shaft, and (b) an advanced position, where the distal electrode tips project to an outside of the introducer shaft. A set of longitudinally extending tip electrode channels are arranged in the distal tip and adapted to guide respective travel trajectories of the distal electrode tips during electrode advancement and retraction.
