Welcome to HATCHBOX 3D Products! Our engineered filament is here to help you stream your creative outlet, enabling you to see your thoughts and concepts engineered into a real and rewarding reality.
The filaments are universally designed and compatible with 3D Printers using 1.75mm diameter filament, with a dimensional accuracy of +/- 0.03mm. PLA, or Polylactic Acid, is a commonly used thermoplastic material that does not require the use of a heated print bed. Blending a mixture of plant-based materials and polymers creates HATHCHBOX 3D Printer's PLA, making this material more Nature-friendly. Because of the lower melting temperatures and lack of warping, PLA filaments retain their color vibrancy and are a common choice for displays or small household prints. The 3D printed object will have a glossy type finish with PLA.

Polylactic Acid (PLA) is a thermoplastic material derived from renewable resources such as corn. PLA filament is easy and safe to use which makes it the most popular choice for hobbyists and schools. ... Manufacturers also use PLA materials to make parts for toys, medical devices and many other products. Thanks to its natural origins, PLA plastic can biodegrade into non-toxic materials making it a sustainable choice for 3D printing.
Variety and accessibility make PLA useful for enthusiasts and professionals alike. Low PLA print temperatures let this filament work with most FDM 3D printers. The transparency of raw PLA accepts pigments and fillers to create a wide range of colors and materials properties, including our popular white PLA filament. And to finish the job, a range of post-processing techniques will make the final object look amazing.
PLA is more forgiving than many 3D printing materials. During printing, objects are more likely to adhere to the print bed even if it is unheated. The final parts are not as susceptible to warping as they cool. Unlike other 3D printer filaments, PLA produces few noxious fumes which makes it much safer to use around kids and pets.
You will want to choose PLA filaments when printing rapid prototypes, household objects and anything for kids. When expressing your creativity in 3D, the aesthetic options with PLA printing can’t be beaten. However, you will want to avoid applications where the object must support mechanical loads, high temperatures or prolonged exposure to daylight.

Photo caption,Luc Masela with his parents one month after the artificial bladder transplant. year 2001.
Luc Masela, now 27, is an athlete with a degree in economics, works for a major exhibition company, travels a lot and recently met, in his words, "the most beautiful girl in the world." Both she and most of his current friends were extremely surprised when they learned that 17 years ago he survived a dozen and a half operations.
Luke was born with spina bifida - and although he was able to walk, his bladder was severely damaged. By the age of 10, he almost did not leave hospitals: due to improper functioning of the bladder, fluid began to return to the boy's kidneys, doctors diagnosed an irreversible pathology of the organ.

Doctors offered the family two solutions: lifelong dialysis or the creation of a new bladder from a segment of the intestine.
This would guarantee Luke several years of medically supervised life and a high risk of developing cancer.
The urologist in charge of the boy suggested that Masela's family take part in an experimental program to grow a new bladder from his own cells. Then, in 2001, it sounded like science fiction: only nine people took part in the program before Luke. Despite this, his family agreed.
"The essence of the operation was reduced to two stages: first, a piece of bladder tissue was taken from me, and over the next two months, cells were grown in the laboratory in order to grow a new healthy bladder from them," says Luke.

Next was the transplant operation, which, according to him, lasted 16 hours. “I opened my eyes and saw a cut through my entire stomach, tubes of all possible sizes were sticking out of me, except for them - four IVs and a bottle-feeding machine,” he recalls.
“I stayed in the hospital for another month, I was prescribed bed rest, after that I stayed at home for another month.
The operation was performed by Dr. Anthony Atala, Pediatric Regenerative Surgeon. In two months, out of a hundred patient cells, scientists created one and a half billion. Further, an engineering structure was created on a collagen frame: the bladder was “sculpted” like a two-layer pie, the core of which dissolved over time, and it started working like an ordinary organ, taking root thanks to Luke’s own cells.

Luke and Dr. Atala haven't seen each other for 10 years after being discharged from the hospital. Once a dying child became the champion of the school wrestling team and went to college.
The professor took charge of the Wake Forest Institute of Regenerative Medicine in North Carolina in those 10 years, but Luke was never forgotten: his bladder was one of the most challenging and most successful projects in his early practice.
By 2018, Atala won the Christopher Columbus Award for "work on a discovery that will have a significant impact on society"; The Times and Scientific American magazines at various times named him "Physician of the Year", he was also recognized as "one of the 50 scientists on the planet who in the next 10 years will change the way we live and work."

The End of the Story Podcast
In the mid-2000s, Atala's team turned their attention to an ordinary household 3D printer and wrote special software for it, later specialized machines were created for the laboratory.
Now the laboratory "grows" up to 30 different types of cells and organs, as well as cartilage and bones.
One of the team's latest achievements is ears and noses grown outside the human body.
The main customer and sponsor of Atala's developments is the US Department of Defense, and many of the patients are military victims of military operations.
It works like this: first, a CT scan of the ear or nose is done. One of Atala's assistants, Joshua Corpus, jokes that at this stage, people often ask to "improve" the shape of the nose if they thought theirs was too wide or hooked, and the ears if they were too wide.
After that, a special computer code is written, and the printing of the base of the organs begins.
For this, a bioabsorbable polymer, polycaprolactam, is used. At the same time flexible and durable, in the human body it disintegrates within four years.
After printing, the layers of polycaprolactam resemble lace; after transplantation, their place will be taken by a person's own cartilage tissue in a few years after transplantation.
Polycaprolactam is then saturated with a gel created from the patient's cells, cooled to -18 degrees Celsius - so the cells, according to scientists, are not damaged, they are "alive and happy."
Image caption,Printing a test kidney sample on a bioprinter
In order for the polymer and gel structure to take shape and become something more durable, ultraviolet light is used in the laboratory - it does not damage cells.
The future implant is printed for 4-5 hours, then it is finally formed and inserted under the epidermis.
Skin can also be grown: children affected by the fires were the first to participate in the early trials of Atala - after the "printing" of the skin, scientists observed the patients for several more years. The new skin did not crack, did not burst, and grew with the children.
The most difficult job, according to the scientist, is facial wounds: it’s not enough just to stretch the skin, you need to accurately calculate the geometry, align swelling, bone structure, and understand how a person will look after that.
In addition to the skin and ears, Atala can "print" the bones of the jaws, grow blood vessels and cells of some organs - the liver, kidneys, lungs.
This technology is especially appreciated by oncologists: on the basis of patient cells, it is possible to recreate the body's response to various types of chemotherapy and observe the reaction to a particular type of treatment in the laboratory, and not on a living person.
But the liver, kidneys, lungs and heart are still being tested. Atala says he raised them in miniature, but creating organs from various tissues to real size requires a lot of additional research.
But, according to him, cells were grown in the laboratory and a vagina was created for a girl who was born several years ago with a congenital deformity of the genital organs - several years have passed since the transplant.

Atala smiles and adds that his team is also working on a working penis.
This research has been going on for several years, and the most troublesome for scientists is the complex structure of tissues and the specific sensitivity of the organ itself.
Among others, Igor Vasyutin, a Russian post-graduate student of the First Moscow State Medical University (MGMU) named after Sechenov, is working on this under laboratory conditions. He is a cell biologist, Atala's right hand.
Vasyutin has been in the USA for about a year - he came on an exchange. He is ready to talk about the behavior of stem cells for hours, but becomes less verbose when it comes to Russian science.
Vasyutin's alma mater has not reached mass regeneration of human organs and is still training on animals: local scientists "printed" a mouse thyroid gland on a 3D printer.
However, they are also involved in the study of human organs. According to the head of the Institute of Regenerative Medicine at MSMU Denis Butnar, several years ago the Institute recreated a special engineering design of the buccal mucosa.
She functioned perfectly for the first six months, but subsequently had to undergo a second operation.

In Russia, however, over the past few years, the Italian surgeon-transplantologist Paolo Macchiarini has been practicing - the man who was the first in history to perform an operation on transplanting a synthetic organ - a plastic tube that replaced the patient trachea.

However, seven of his nine patients died, and the breathing tubes implanted in the remaining two subsequently had to be replaced with donor ones.
Several criminal cases were brought against him, including on charges of pressure on patients and fraud, and the world's leading doctors called Macchiarini's operations "ethical Chernobyl."
Will printed organs replace donors?
At the zenith of his career, Macchiarini argued that a new perspective is opening up for humanity: you can "print" any human organ on a printer, create an engineering structure from it, enriched with the patient's stem cells, and get the perfect prosthesis.
Be that as it may, complex human organs - the liver, kidneys, heart, lungs - have not yet been grown by any regenerative surgeon.
Bioprinting of the so-called simple organs, however, is already available in the USA, Sweden, Spain and Israel - at the level of clinical trials and special programs.
The US government is actively investing in such programs - in addition to Wake Forest, cooperating with the Pentagon, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology also receives significant amounts to recreate the functioning of the liver, heart and lungs.

According to Professor Jorge Raquela, a gastroenterologist at the Mayo Clinic Research Center, "Bioprinting is one of the most exciting branches of modern medicine, it has huge potential, and the turning point of the most important discoveries is already close."
Meanwhile, Pete Basillier, head of R&D at analytics firm Gartner, insists technology is advancing much faster than understanding the implications of 3D printing.
Such developments, according to Basilière, even if created with the best of intentions, give rise to a set of questions: what will happen when "improved" organs are created, the basis of which will not only be human cells - will they have "superpowers"? Will a regulatory body be created to monitor their production? Who will check the quality of these organs?
More than 150,000 Americans are on the waiting list for organ transplants every year, according to a report from the US National Library of Medicine. Donor organs will receive only 18% of them; every day in the United States, without waiting for a transplant, 25 people die. Organ transplants and subsequent rehabilitation cost insurance companies and patients $300 billion in 2012 alone.

Most Americans are potential donors: upon obtaining a driver's license, they voluntarily answer the question of whether they agree to donate their organs in the event of a car accident or other dangerous incident .
In case of consent, a small "heart" and the word "donor" appear in the corner of the document.
Professor Atala's driver's license is the same - despite all his achievements and faith in the press, he is ready to share his with others.
Neither the professor himself, nor his subordinates hide the fact that science is not yet able to "print" organs for thousands of those who need transplantation right now. According to him, it will take several decades to replace donor organs with grown ones at the mass market level.
The work of Atala and others in the field of regenerative medicine remains more probing than mainstream, and still tailored to the individual patient.
Storm of Light read online by Ryan Silbert, Luke Lieberman, Stan Lee, Kat Rosenfield (Page 14)
He can do more now than ever before. The power of his own mind would have terrified him if it hadn't been so dazzling and exciting. Sometimes it seems to Cameron that the lightning is still in his body, the energy crackling, rushing from neuron to neuron, like a series of fires, directing his hands from one project to another.
Improved version, Cameron thinks. “I am Human 2.0.”
This is the best definition of what is going on in his head: all the abilities given to him by nature have recently developed, expanded, grown. Cameron has always been a gamer, a programmer, he liked to do something with his hands, he assembled all kinds of devices from parts, he wrote programs in order to one day create his own Frankenstein, some new technology. But now he has risen to a completely different level. His brain is constantly processing information flows, sending and receiving data packets, looking for and finding solutions.
There is so much to do.
First, he took care of repairing his own body. Together with his surgeon, he (legally) visited a prosthetics lab, then at night (illegally) hacked into the information network of a cool biotech company, so now he knew exactly what he wanted and how to persuade his new friends, machines, to do it. He felt like a spy when he hid in the bushes in front of the doors of a robotics lab at dawn, mentally giving orders to the 3D printer inside, and then knocked on the door to take it from the hands of a puzzled scientist who had specially arrived for work early the minute the printer finished.
Cameron disguised himself in some way, wearing a black baseball cap and a T-shirt with the logo of his father's old company Miracle, but in the end it turned out that this was not necessary. The laboratory worker barely glanced at Cameron, who kept glancing nervously over his shoulder, as if a ghost was waiting for him inside. Besides, if he told someone that a mysterious young man who was limping heavily came and took some mysterious object from the laboratory… well, this guy would have to be searched for a very long time.
Because Cameron no longer limps. The prosthesis completely closed the hole in his foot, fitting perfectly into it. In addition, it is stuffed with a network of neurons that sense what its dead nerve endings cannot catch. The processor installed inside analyzes each movement and transmits data to a special application, one of many invented by Cameron, and that, in turn, interprets the received information and recognizes deviations in his gait. Through the interplay of the prosthesis, the app, and his own cyberkinetic brain, Cameron learned to walk again and breathed a sigh of relief.
A week later, he left his walking stick by the road to be picked up when the garbage truck arrived. Cameron is confident that if the right materials are obtained, an organic prosthesis could be made: artificial nerve endings that would fuse with his own and send signals directly to his brain. He can create the required code. He can create code for anything.
And this is just the beginning. Cameron has already hacked every system in the house and synced it with local weather reports, as well as his mother's fitness bracelet - which he also hacked, so now the gadget analyzes everything from her heartbeat to schedule and sends data throughout the house. Every morning, the coffee maker clicks the minute Mom gets out of bed, whether she wakes up early or late.
If mum falls asleep on the couch, the lights dim and the sound on the TV becomes quieter so as not to disturb her peace. If mom spends all day on her feet at work, the fridge turns on the perfect temperature for chilling wine the minute mom gets in the car to drive home.
If she comes home from Zumba, the thermostat sets the house to a more comfortable temperature. Cameron was relieved to realize that he could not only talk to the software of the machines around him, but also be able to make them talk to each other and cooperate - thus becoming something of a diplomat in the digital world. In addition, he knows that his mother appreciates the fruits of his labors, even if she does not understand that her son did all this. To Cameron, she says, "It's so nice to see you back in business and enjoying your hobbies."
She texts her boyfriend: “Oh my God, our house is actually SMART! Damn it, I feel like I live in a penthouse, or even on a spaceship!
And most importantly, Cameron was surprised to realize that just as much as his new abilities made his life difficult, they bring him joy . This morning he is finishing his new project: a handheld device based on his old navigation visor, which he used to sail around the lake on the Sunfish.
If he ever goes out into the water again, he will not need a primitive headset. Having understood the stuffing of the device, he understands that it can be easily reduced. Having reduced the visor, he supplements it with a pair of contact lenses so that the image is transmitted directly to the retina of the eyes, as well as an earpiece - and a game system that you can take with you anywhere.
The calendar in the upper right corner of the screen shows May 17th. Today he will return to school again after the incident, just in time for the last week. However, graduation no longer scares Cameron. In fact, he is looking forward to it. Now it will be much more fun to sit at the rehearsal of the celebration, because he will be able to mow down digital zombies with a flamethrower, not paying attention to boring speeches, and final exams can now be taken without any preparation. After everything Cameron has been through, it only makes sense for him to fill in the gaps in his knowledge with his new abilities and the nearest Internet-connected device.
It's not even cheating. Scooping up information from the Internet is now like breathing for him, because the codes have become a second native language for Cameron, and he speaks it easily and naturally. The more time he spends with machines, the more he prefers such communication to conversations with people. People are very complex creatures, it’s hard to work with them, they confuse and confuse: they cram their bias and ignorance into every conversation, misinterpret, misunderstand. Until now, Cameron did not realize how much the Internet, this great experiment designed to unite the world, tore off each individual person from society, made him wilder than ever. Everyone is in his own bubble, easily explodes, does not want to delve into someone else's life, does not sympathize, looking for an enemy who can be hated.
This never happens with software. It always says exactly what it means, and Cameron does the same. As a result, there is never any misunderstanding between them.
The more time he spends interacting with machines, the more he prefers their company... of course, if Near is not online, because he is always ready to communicate with her!
* * *
The sun is barely above the horizon as Cameron picks up his phone, snaps a photo, and his new 3D printer—the latest model, a graduation present from the Real Housewife—begins to buzz. He prints contact lenses. Silicone is woven into a thin thread that contains everything from the perfect miniature antenna to a processor the size of a piece of glitter to a tiny solar array. Nia will especially like the battery, because it was her idea. Whenever Cameron shares plans for a new project with his new girlfriend, she invariably tells him how to improve the invention, make it even better. If Near has questions about how he manages to program so quickly and intuitively, she keeps them to herself. Cameron attaches a photo and sends a message.
Nia may not have woken up yet - her father is very strict about daily routines and all that - but when she goes online, the message will be waiting for her:
The augmented reality lenses are almost ready! It's time for testing.
* * *
Cameron feels slightly dizzy as he takes his seat in the French class, looks around the room and scans it in his mind at the same time. Smart lenses irritate the eyes, but Cameron's mind is crystal clear: it's both a relief and a surprise. As soon as he enters the school, the rapid flow of data almost knocks him off his feet, and even his newfound fame makes itself felt. Cameron feels a grainy image of his face circulating the internet. As he walks down the halls, he knows he's being filmed: every time someone points their cell phone at him, Cameron feels a nasty tickle. However, it is not necessary to have cyberkinetic abilities to understand: his appearance caused a sensation. People, especially girls, smile at him in the corridors, and when he passes, they begin to giggle and whisper. Many openly stare, and one glance at those who do not is enough to understand that they are struggling not to stare. When he finally agrees to take a selfie with someone, he feels how the resulting image spreads across the Web in waves, collects tons of likes and comments, but even if Cameron did not feel this, it would be enough to go online once to see how his life changed a lot.
